For best results, use ripe but firm peaches. Avoid overripe peaches, as they will become mushy during freezing and baking. Quick-cooking tapioca helps to thicken the filling without making it gummy. If you don't have tapioca, you can substitute an additional tablespoon of cornstarch. Adding a squeeze of lemon juice (about 1 teaspoon) to the peach mixture can help to prevent browning and brighten the flavor. If the crust begins to brown too quickly, tent it loosely with foil during the last 15-20 minutes of baking.

Dec 8, 2024I found that my pie needed a bit longer to bake, probably because my peaches were extra juicy. Just keep an eye on it and bake until the filling is bubbly.
