You could just eat it by itself, but we think there’s a better way to use your leftovers.

What to Do with Leftover Peach Pie Filling?

The easiest thing you can do is use it in a smoothie. You can make a peach pie smoothie by blending together the pie filling with yogurt or milk and ice cubes. If you want to get really fancy, add some cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract to the mix. Then drink up!

There are so many things you can do with it besides just chugging it down straight from the jar (although if that’s your thing, we support you).

Here are 9 creative ways to use up that leftover peach pie filling:

1. Make a Peach Cobbler

  1. First, mix together 2 tablespoons of melted butter and 1/4 cup of brown sugar. Spread the mixture over the bottom of a baking dish.
  2. Next, add 1 cup of flour and 1 teaspoon of baking powder. Stir until it forms a crumbly mixture.
  3. Now add the filling—either straight from the can or thawed—and stir to combine. Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 minutes or until the top is golden brown.
  4. Serve warm with ice cream or whipped cream!

  3. In large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and cinnamon. Mix well. Add eggs, buttermilk and melted butter. Mix until combined; do not over mix!

You can also use it as a topping for pancakes or waffles.

Here’s how:

  1. Mix together the filling with a little bit of flour until you get a thick paste that won’t run off your pancakes.
  2. Heat a frying pan to medium-high heat and spread a little bit of butter on the surface of the pan.

7. Use as Part of A Dessert Salad or Parfait

This is a great idea for using leftover peach pie filling as part of a dessert salad or parfait.

First, get three cups of your favorite greens (we recommend arugula, baby spinach, or kale) and mix them with the peach pie filling. Then add in some chopped nuts and diced apple to round things out.

Finally, top it all off with some crumbled bacon and serve it alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side.

8. Freeze It in An Ice Cube Tray and Use in Smoothies or Sangrias

You can also freeze it in an ice cube tray and use it in smoothies or sangrias, or make a pie crust out of it.

Here’s how:

  1. Spread the peach pie filling into an even layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Place the baking sheet in the freezer for 2 hours until solid.
  2. Remove the frozen peach pie filling from the freezer and cut into cubes with a sharp knife or kitchen shears (or use a food processor).
  3. Put each “cube” back onto the baking sheet and return to the freezer for another 2 hours to re-freeze fully (this will prevent them from sticking together).
  4. Transfer frozen cubes into a sealable plastic bag or container; label with date and contents (so you know what flavor you’re grabbing when you need some).

9. Make Peach Ice Cream Sandwiches
