Betty Crocker Blushing Peach Pie

Our recipe for this rosy-colored, blushing peach pie dates back to at least 1968, where it was used in ads for Betty Crocker Pie Crust Mix. From our Betty Crocker Found Recipes cookbook, we’ve brought back this blast from our past not only because it’s insanely pretty, but it also bursts with incredible peach and cinnamon goodness.

What’s the secret ingredient that gives this peach pie its signature color and flavor? It’s red cinnamon candies. As they melt in the oven, they lend both their color and flavor to the homemade peach filling, for eye-catching and taste-tempting results.

This is the dessert to make when peaches are at their height of their season. Or you can use frozen peach slices if peaches aren’t in season or if you want to skip the peeling and slicing step, to get your pie in the oven even faster.

This blushing peach pie features a homemade, flaky scratch pastry - check our guide on how to make pie crust, so even if you’re new to pie-baking, this pie will turn out picture perfect. Serve slices with homemade whipped cream or ice cream, for the ultimate dessert experience.
