Can I use fresh peaches instead of canned?
+
Yes, you can! However, canned peaches are pre-cooked and usually in syrup, which means you might need to adjust the sugar and perhaps cook fresh peaches beforehand to achieve a similar consistency in your pie filling.
How can I prevent my pie from having a soggy bottom?
+
Pre-baking the crust, known as blind baking, can help prevent a soggy bottom. Use pie weights or dried beans to weigh down the crust while baking, and always ensure your filling is not overly wet before adding it to the pie.
What are some vegan alternatives for the custard in the Vanilla Custard Peach Pie?
+
Silken tofu can be used as a custard base. Combine it with plant-based milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and a thickening agent like cornstarch or agar agar to create a vegan custard filling for your pie.
