Notes
- Use ripe yet firm peaches for a better filling texture after baking.
- Chill the dough before rolling for flaky homemade pie crust layers.
- Too much filling can cause fruit juices to spill while baking.
- Cover crust edges loosely if browning too quickly inside the oven during baking.
- Let the pie cool completely before cutting clean dessert slices.
- Warm pie and vanilla ice cream create a rich dessert combination.
