Ingredients for Your Canned Peach Pie

Alright, gather ’round! Here’s what you’ll need for this super simple pie. I usually grab a can of Dole sliced peaches (the 14.5-ounce one), and make sure you drain ’em good! You’ll also want one box of Pillsbury refrigerated pie crusts (the 14.1-ounce size), plus 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, 1/4 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, 2 tablespoons of butter (cut into little pieces!), 1 tablespoon of milk, and 1 tablespoon of coarse sugar for sprinkling on top. Easy peasy!

How to Make Canned Peach Pie: Step-by-Step Instructions

Okay, here’s where the magic happens! Don’t worry, it’s easier than you think. Just follow these steps, and you’ll have a delicious pie in no time. First things first: preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (that’s 190 degrees C for my friends across the pond!). Getting that oven ready is key!

Preparing the Crust

Grab your 9-inch pie plate. Unroll one of those pie crusts and gently lay it in the plate. Press it down lightly so it fits snugly. Don’t worry if it’s not perfect – we’re going for rustic charm here! Trim any excess crust hanging way over the edge, but leave a little extra for crimping later.

Making the Peach Filling

In a bowl – any bowl will do! – toss together your drained canned peaches, 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons of flour, and that 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon. Give it a good mix so everything’s coated. This is where that amazing peachy smell starts to kick in. Mmm!

Assembling and Baking the Pie

Pour that peach mixture right into your pie crust. Then, dot the top with those little pieces of butter. Now, carefully lay the second pie crust on top. Crimp the edges to seal – you can use a fork or your fingers. Get creative! Don’t forget to cut a few slits in the top crust. This lets the steam escape, so your pie doesn’t explode (oops!). Brush the top with milk (it helps with browning!) and sprinkle with that coarse sugar for a little sparkle and crunch. Pop it in the oven for 40-45 minutes. You want it golden brown and bubbly. If the crust starts to get too brown, just tent it with foil.

Cooling and Serving

This is the hardest part: Let it cool! Seriously, give it at least an hour. It needs time to set. I know, the smell is torture, but trust me, it’s worth it. Then, slice and serve!

Tips for the Best Canned Peach Pie

Don’t Overbake

Okay, burning the crust is a total bummer. Keep an eye on your pie! If it’s getting too brown too fast, just loosely cover it with aluminum foil for the last 15 minutes or so. That’ll save it!

Adjust Sweetness to Taste

Canned peaches can be pretty sweet already, so feel free to reduce the sugar if you like. Taste the filling before you pour it in the crust. If it’s sweet enough for you, use a little less sugar. It’s all about what YOU like!

Use Cold Butter

Seriously, cold butter is key! Those little butter pieces create flaky pockets in the filling as they melt. Don’t skip this! I even pop my butter in the freezer for a few minutes before dicing it up. Works like a charm!

Canned Peach Pie Variations

Add Spices

Want to kick things up a notch? Try adding a pinch of nutmeg or ginger to your peach filling! Cinnamon is classic, but nutmeg gives it a warm, cozy vibe, and ginger adds a little zing. I usually just eyeball it – maybe 1/4 teaspoon? Just don’t go overboard!

Use a Crumble Topping

Okay, sometimes I’m just not in the mood for a top crust. Enter: the crumble topping! Mix together some flour, oats, brown sugar, and butter until it’s crumbly (duh!). Sprinkle it over the peach filling instead of a crust. Bake as usual. It’s SO good! Check out this fruit cocktail dump cake for another easy fruit dessert idea.

Incorporate Nuts

Chopped pecans or walnuts add a nice crunch and nutty flavor. You can sprinkle them on top of the filling before adding the top crust, or mix them right into the crumble topping. My grandma always added a handful of walnuts – it’s delish!

Serving Suggestions for Your Canned Peach Pie

Okay, your pie’s cooled, it smells amazing… now what? Here are a few of my favorite ways to serve it up. Trust me, you can’t go wrong with any of these!

Vanilla Ice Cream

Warm pie + cold ice cream = pure bliss! Seriously, a scoop of vanilla ice cream melting over a slice of this peach pie? It’s a classic for a reason! For more dessert inspiration, visit our recipes section.

Whipped Cream

If you’re not an ice cream person (gasp!), whipped cream is the way to go. Homemade is best, but the store-bought stuff works just fine in a pinch. A dollop of sweetness? Yes, please!

Caramel Sauce

Want to get fancy? Drizzle a little caramel sauce over your pie. It adds a rich, decadent touch. I usually use store-bought, but you can totally make your own if you’re feeling ambitious!

Storing and Reheating Your Canned Peach Pie

Alright, so you’ve baked this amazing pie, devoured a slice (or two!), and now you’ve got leftovers? Lucky you! Here’s how to keep that peachy goodness going.

Storing Leftovers

Pop your leftover pie in the fridge. Just cover it loosely with plastic wrap or foil. It’ll keep for about 3-4 days. Honestly, it never lasts that long at my house!

Reheating Instructions

Want a warm slice? You can reheat it in the oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes. Or, if you’re impatient like me, just zap it in the microwave for 30 seconds or so. Easy peasy!

Frequently Asked Questions About Canned Peach Pie

Can I use fresh peaches instead of canned?

Absolutely! Fresh peaches are amazing in this pie. But you’ll want to peel and slice them first, of course. And since they’re not as sweet as canned, you might need to add a little extra sugar – taste as you go! Also, fresh peaches release more juice, so toss them with an extra tablespoon of flour to help thicken things up.

How do I prevent the crust from burning?

Burning crusts are the WORST! If your crust is browning too quickly, try tenting the pie with aluminum foil during the last 15-20 minutes of baking. You can also buy or make crust shields – those little silicone or metal rings that protect the edges. They’re lifesavers! For more baking tips, check out resources on ingredient substitution.

Can I freeze Canned Peach Pie?

Yep, you sure can! Let the pie cool completely, then wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, followed by a layer of foil. It’ll keep in the freezer for up to 3 months. When you’re ready to eat it, thaw it in the fridge overnight and then reheat it in a 350°F oven until warmed through. Freezing is a great way to enjoy this canned peach pie goodness later!

Nutritional Information for Canned Peach Pie

Okay, so here’s the deal: nutrition info can vary a LOT depending on the brands you use and how big you slice that pie. So, this is just a general idea!
