Peaches and Cream Pie is a fun dessert for any time of year, because you can use canned or bottled peaches. No need to wait for fresh peaches. This time of year I have peaches on my mind, so I love this wonderful recipe.
I feel it will be perfect for Thanksgiving as well. I have never tried making peaches and cream pie with fresh peaches. However if you did try using fresh peaches, I feel that the consistency would be different.

Do I Need to Use a Pie Pan to Make This Pie?
- As you can see, I did not use a Pie Pan this time to make this pie – I used a 7.5″ X 9.5″ Rectangular Pan. This wasn’t my first choice, but since I realized that all of my pie pans are in storage, I decided to try this and it worked out great.
- You could also use a 9″ X 9″ square pan.
What Classifies as a Pie?
- I was wondering if this really was a pie since I didn’t use a Pie Pan, so I googled and found the following definition for Pie: Pie is defined as a baked food in a pastry-lined pan or dish that has a fruit, meat, pudding, or other filling.
- Since this pie is pastry lined and has a filling, I still feel good about calling it a pie!

Could you double this recipe and bake in a 9 by 13 pan?
I haven’t doubled it, but I don’t see why you couldn’t just make sure to check the time as it will most likely take a little bit longer to cook. Let us know if you give it a try. We’d love to know how it turns out. Thanks so much!:)
I was wondering the same thing. Can’t wait to hear!

Looks like all the ingredients are doubled in the list of ingredients? ( 2 of everything)???
Thank you my friend. I updated the recipe. Not sure why it does that sometimes. Thanks for the heads up!:)
Is this instant vanilla pie filling or the cooking kind
Per the recipe, use 1 (3 ounce) package (Vanilla Pie Filing) non-instant (cook and serve) vanilla pudding mix. So it is not instant but the cooking kind.
Yes, it can be doubled. I made it that way. Very good.
Thank you for letting us know that you doubled it. We appreciate you sharing the information. And thank you for leaving a comment. We appreciate you.
I am looking at the recipe and it seems to me several of the ingredients are doubled by mistake.
Oh, you are right! Thank you so much. I just went and fixed that. Have a wonderful day!:)
I’m confused. Is the published recipe for the 9”x13” pan or is it wrong? I thought about trying this for Easter but now I’m nervous after reading the comments. Is this the corrected version and just the pan size is wrong? Also, can you serve it warm instead of chilling it? Thank you, love you emails!
The recipe says to use a 10″ deep dish pie pan. The following is copied from the blog post. “As you can see, I did not use a Pie Pan this time to make this pie – I used a 7.5″ X 9.5″ Rectangular Pan. This wasn’t my first choice, but since I realized that all of my pie pans are in storage, I decided to try this and it worked out great.:) You could also use a 8″ X 8″ or a 9″ X 9″ square pan”. So there are a variety of size pans that you could use, but 9″X13″ is NOT one of them. But if you were to double the recipe, that is why people were asking about a 9″ x 13″ pan. I am so sorry about that I see how one could get confused.
And as far as serving it warm, to be honest with you I usually can’t wait to taste the pie so I do eat it warm, however it isn’t set up and that is the reason for chilling. But, if you don’t mind it a little thinner, and not thick, you can serve it warm! Thanks for the great questions and I hope you will give the recipe a try, and enjoy it.
I’ve not come across a Pudding mix, can you tell me what it is and is there a substitute for it?
If you go to Walmart or most of your grocery stores, go to the isle that has Jell-O and pudding, then look for the one that says,” Vanilla Cook and Serve”. They have instant and cook and serve, one that you cook on the stove top, and that is where you find it. I hope this helps. I don’t know a substitute.
They also have it on Amazon, but you would have to buy 3 pkgs. ( Vanilla Jell-O Cook and Serve)
I live in the UK and don’t have a Walmart and our supermarkets have nothing like you suggest.
Oh I see. Sorry about that. You could make your own from scratch.
1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
¾ cup (96 g) cornstarch
¾ cup (96 g) nonfat dry milk powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 whole vanilla beans
Instructions:
In a bowl, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, milk powder, and salt; then set aside.
Split open the vanilla beans and use the back of a knife to scrape out the seeds. Add the seeds to the sugar mixture, and then whisk them well to combine, using a fork to break up any chunks of vanilla bean seeds. Cut the empty vanilla bean pods into two or three pieces each.
Place the vanilla bean pieces into an airtight container or jar, and add the sugar mixture. Put a lid on, and then give it a few good shakes to distribute the vanilla bean pieces evenly. Store in a cool, dry place. I hope this helps.
Thanks I’ll try that
