Ingredients
Instructions
- Place peaches in the pastry-lined pie pan. Sprinkle with sugar and nutmeg.

- Bake at 425°F for 35 to 45 minutes until golden and bubbly.

Tips & Substitutions
For the best flavor, use fresh, ripe peaches. If they're out of season, frozen peaches can work in a pinch; just thaw and drain excess moisture. Consider substituting the brown sugar with coconut sugar for a deeper flavor. If you want a nutty flavor, add a tablespoon of almond extract to the egg mixture. This pie pairs beautifully with vanilla ice cream.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this pie slightly warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream on top. It can be enjoyed as a dessert or even as a sweet breakfast treat. Pair it with a glass of sweet iced tea or a light dessert wine for a delightful experience.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place individual slices in the oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes until warmed through. You can also microwave slices for about 30 seconds, but the crust may lose some crispness.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use canned peaches instead of fresh peaches?
Yes, you can use canned peaches, but be sure to drain them well to avoid excess moisture. Fresh peaches provide a better texture and flavor, but canned peaches can be a convenient alternative. Adjust the sugar if needed since canned peaches are often packed in syrup.
How can I make the streusel topping more flavorful?
To enhance the streusel topping, consider adding a teaspoon of cinnamon or vanilla extract to the mixture. You could also incorporate chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts for added texture and flavor. Experimenting with different spices can elevate the topping even further.
Is it possible to make this pie ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can assemble the pie a day in advance and refrigerate it before baking. Just cover it with plastic wrap or foil. When you're ready to bake, remove it from the fridge and bake as directed. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
