We are only a family of four but because I seem to shop and cook for ten (thanks Mom) I had lots of refrigerated pie dough left over from the Banana Cream Pie I made earlier in the week. Which reminds me, set out a fork for later.
These mini peach pies are so cute and easy to make using a muffin pan. You don’t even need to slice the peaches. Just peel, cut them in half and toss the pit.
For the rounds I measured 5 inches for the bottom and 3 inches for the top. For me it was a cereal bowl and a juice glass. Whatever works!
Mini peach pies
Serves: 4 mini pies
Ingredients
- Refrigerated pastry dough or recipe for Double pie crust
- 2 ripe peaches
- 1 tbsp flour
- ¼ cup sugar
- ⅛ tsp cinnamon
- pinch of nutmeg
- pinch of salt
- 2 tsp butter
For the egg wash
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp water
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees
- Unwrap pastry dough and cut four 5 inch circles and four 3 inch circles.
- Line a muffin tin with the larger circles. Place a half peach in each bottom cut side up
- In a small bowl combine the flour, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt.
- Sprinkle sugar mixture evenly over each peach half.
- Dot each pie with ½ tsp of butter.
- Place the smaller circles of dough on top and seal the edges. Pierce the top with a knife.
- Whisk the egg and water and brush over the top of each pie.
- Bake at 450 degrees for 10 minutes
- Reduce heat to 350 degrees and cook for 20-25 minutes.
- Cool 10 minutes in the muffin pan before running a knife gently under each pie to loosen.
Notes
If the pies start to brown too much, cover loosely with foil.
Canned peach halves would work well if fresh peaches are unavailable.

That’s such a great idea making mini pies in a muffin tin! I will definitely be trying that!
Thanks Stacey, let me know so I can check them out! I love your blog name 🙂
Just gorgeous! Isn’t everything better mini sized! Love what a neat presentation these make!
Thanks Annie! I love mini sized, although I tend to eat enough to count as normal! 🙂
Perfect portion & portable. I love that it makes a small amount. It’s so hard to bake for 2. Thanks, I’m pinning it
Thanks Cyndy!
What size muffin pan did you use
I have a pan that makes 6 muffins and
have a pan that makes 12
Thanks Rose
I used a 12 count muffin pan
These are adorable. Have you ever frozen them? I’d love to make a bunch and freeze them for the winter or a special treat.
I haven’t tried freezing them but what a great idea!
I have them in the oven right now. Had to throw a dinner together for husbands people. I used this with a pie mix where I just added ice water, rolled out, added the peaches and ta da
I must find this pie mix!!
Just made them, they are delicious. Will be keeping this one for sure!
This is a great recipe, but I was wondering if you can use this to make a 9″ pie, using the apple pie crust that you added. But the recipe is delicious, and I will make it again. Thank you!
