Note

Allow the pie to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing to ensure the filling sets properly.

If using frozen peaches, thaw and drain excess liquid before preparing the filling to prevent a soggy crust.

For a crispier bottom crust, you can pre-bake the bottom crust for 10 minutes before adding the filling.

Store leftovers covered at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for up to 5 days. Reheat slices in the oven for best texture.
