- You can use fresh OR frozen peaches in this recipe. If using fresh, you'll need about 6-8 medium peaches, peeled and sliced. If using frozen, thaw the peaches completely and drain any liquid before using. I prefer to use frozen for convenience purposes, but fresh peaches in season taste the best!
- Letting the peaches sit coated in sugar for 10-15 minutes draws the juices out of the fruit, which is called maceration. By draining that excess liquid before baking the peaches into a pie, you'll have a fruit filling that is thick and syrupy, not thin and watery.
