This pie is so delicious nobody will even know you used canned peaches! I love fresh pies but there is a lot of the year where I just cannot get fresh peaches. And waiting for them to be in season just isn’t going to cut it.
I didn’t even realize until getting this recipe from my mother that many of those delicious peach pies from my childhood came from a can! I’m going to give her a pass though because not only is it delicious, it’s super easy to make.
Now to be fair, my mom canned peaches herself but this recipe works so well with store bought peaches too.
Keep in mind that there are a number of different styles of store bought canned peaches out there. Any of them can work but your flavor will change depending on the type you get. I almost always make my pies with light canned peaches.
How To Make Canned Peach Pie
So when baking your pies keep in mind that most store bought pie fillings come ready for a seven or eight inch pie pan. But a nine inch pan holds just about two cans of premade pie filing.
In general an 8″ pie pan will need about 30 oz. of canned peaches. A nine inch deep dish will require a bit over 40 oz. of canned peaches.
These pies can be made with premade or homemade pie crust. Go with whatever you prefer.
This pie takes about an hour and ten minutes to make and it serves around eight people.

My family absolutely loves this peach pie and I don’t think they can tell the difference when I use canned peaches versus fresh!
