- Spread the mixture evenly in a 13 x 11-inch Pyrex dish.
- Bake at 350°F for 35 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using unsalted butter instead of oleo, which will enhance the taste of the crust. If you're looking for a gluten-free option, substitute the flour with a gluten-free all-purpose blend. Be sure to mix the ingredients until just combined to avoid overworking the dough, which can make it tough. You could also add a pinch of cinnamon for an extra layer of flavor.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Peach Yum Yum Pie warm or chilled, topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful contrast. It pairs beautifully with Chocolate Snowball Dessert for a sweet ending to any meal. Consider serving alongside fresh fruit or a light salad to balance the richness. For a casual gathering, this pie also works wonderfully as a dessert option at a barbecue or picnic.
Storage & Reheating
To store leftovers, cover the pie tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and keep it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For reheating, place individual servings in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds or warm the entire pie in an oven set to 350°F for about 10-15 minutes, ensuring it remains moist.
