Ingredient Notes and Substitutions

Fresh Peaches - yes, you can sub in canned peaches or frozen peaches if you like. Just make sure to pat off all the extra liquid with paper towels before using them.
Sour Cream - You can sub plain greek yogurt for the sour cream, however, be aware that the setting may not set up as firm due to the lesser fat content.

Slice thinly and set aside.

How to Make

Recipe FAQs

What can I serve on this pie?

I like either Fresh Whipped Cream or a scoop of Vanilla Ice Cream!

How do I store it?

Store in the fridge. This is not a dessert you leave out on the countertop.

How do I tell when it's done?

This is a great question because this is more of a custard pie so it's hard to know if your pie is done if you don't know what you're looking for. After baking for 20 minutes after reducing the temp to 350 degrees the filling should be set around the edges, but still a little jiggly in the center. This is how you know it's done.
