How to Make Peach Pie Bites

Ingredients

2 refrigerated pie crusts
2 cups peaches, peeled and diced
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon sugar, for sprinkling

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and line a baking sheet or baking dish with parchment paper.
Let the pie crusts sit at room temperature for a few minutes to make them easier to unroll without cracking.
In a medium bowl, stir the diced peaches with 1/3 cup sugar until they are evenly coated and look glossy.
Unroll the pie crusts and cut each one into 8 equal wedges or squares.
Spoon a small amount of the peach mixture into the center of each piece, leaving space around the edges.
Fold the dough over the peaches or bring the corners toward the center to create bite-sized hand pies.
Press the edges gently to seal, and sprinkle the tops with the remaining tablespoon of sugar.
Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the pie bites are puffed and deeply golden.
Let them cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.

How to Serve Peach Pie Bites

Peach Pie Bites are versatile and can be served in various ways. Enjoy them fresh out of the oven with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, or dust them with powdered sugar for a simple yet elegant touch. They also make a wonderful addition to any dessert table at gatherings or parties.

How to Store Peach Pie Bites

To store leftover Peach Pie Bites, let them cool completely and place them in an airtight container. They can be kept in the refrigerator for up to three days. If you want to keep them longer, consider freezing them. Just place the cooled bites in a freezer-safe container and they will last for up to three months. Reheat them in the oven to restore their crispiness.

Tips to Make Peach Pie Bites

Use fresh, ripe peaches for the best flavor.
If fresh peaches are not available, you can use frozen peaches; just make sure to thaw and drain them well.
For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the peach mixture.
Make sure to seal the edges well to prevent the filling from leaking out during baking.

Variation

You can customize your Peach Pie Bites with different fruits. Try using blueberries, strawberries, or a mix of your favorite summer fruits for a colorful twist. Adding a bit of cream cheese into the filling can also create a deliciously creamy texture.

FAQs

2. Can I use store-bought pie crusts?
Absolutely! Using refrigerated or frozen store-bought pie crusts simplifies the process and saves time.
