Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using butter instead of margarine. If you're short on time, you can use a pre-made pie crust. Ensure the peaches are ripe for the best taste and texture. You can also mix in some cinnamon or nutmeg for added warmth. If you don't have tapioca, cornstarch can be a good substitute to thicken the peach filling.
Serving Suggestions
Serve your fresh peach pie with a scoop of Virginia'S Ice Cream for a delightful combination. It pairs wonderfully with a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of cinnamon. Consider serving it alongside a light salad or a refreshing beverage to balance the sweetness. This dessert is perfect for summer gatherings.
Storage & Reheating
To store leftovers, cover the pie with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate for up to 3 days. If you want to reheat, place individual slices in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes, or microwave for 30-45 seconds until warmed through. Enjoy it warm or at room temperature.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen peaches instead of fresh?
Yes, you can use frozen peaches, but be sure to thaw and drain them well to avoid excess liquid in the pie. This will help maintain the desired texture and prevent a soggy crust.
What can I use instead of tapioca?
If you don't have tapioca, cornstarch is a great alternative to thicken the peach filling. Use an equal amount of cornstarch as you would tapioca for the best results.
How do I know when the pie is done baking?
The pie is done when the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling. A toothpick inserted into the topping should come out clean. Keep an eye on it towards the end of baking to prevent over-browning.
