How to Make Two-Ingredient Mini Peach Pies
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare the Muffin Tin: Lightly grease 8 cups of a muffin tin to prevent sticking.
- Shape the Dough: Open the can of cinnamon rolls and separate them. Gently press each roll with your hands or roll them out lightly to form a small round base.
- Form the Crusts: Place each flattened dough disk into the greased muffin tin, pressing it down and up the sides to form a small cup.
- Fill the Cups: Drop a heaping spoonful of peach pie filling into each dough-lined muffin cup. If the filling has large peach slices, consider cutting them into smaller pieces for easier eating.
- Time to Bake: Slide the muffin tin into your preheated oven and let it bake for 12–15 minutes until the crust turns golden and fully sets.
- Cool and Ice: Allow the mini pies to cool slightly in the muffin tin. Once cool, drizzle the icing from the cinnamon roll package over the top of each pie.
- Serve: Carefully remove the mini pies from the muffin tin. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Helpful Tips
- Don’t Overfill: Avoid overfilling the dough cups to prevent spillage during baking.
- Grease Well: Ensure the muffin tin is well-greased to make removing the pies easier.
- Cool Before Icing: Let the pies cool slightly before drizzling with icing to prevent it from melting too much.
- Use a Spoon: A spoon or small spatula can help remove the pies from the tin without breaking them.
Substitutions and Variations
- Different Fillings: Try apple, cherry, or blueberry pie filling for a new twist.
- Add Spices: Sprinkle a little cinnamon or nutmeg on top before baking for extra flavor.
- Top with Nuts: Add chopped pecans or walnuts on top of the filling before baking for added crunch.
- Serve with Ice Cream: A scoop of vanilla ice cream pairs perfectly with these warm mini pies.
