FAQ
Can I use fresh or frozen peaches instead of canned?
Yes! Use about 6–7 cups of sliced peaches. If using fresh, cook them briefly with sugar and a bit of water to create syrup before assembling.
What if I don’t have pie crust mix?
You can use refrigerated pie dough or make homemade crust from scratch if preferred.
Can I add other fruits?
Sure! Try mixing in raspberries, blackberries, or strawberries with the peaches for a fruity twist.
Is it too sweet with all the syrup?
Not at all—thanks to the crust layers and spices, it balances beautifully. But you can reduce the sugar if using sweetened canned peaches.
