Ingredients
- 1 (12.4 ounce) can cinnamon roll dough with icing (8 count)
- 1 (21 ounce) can peach pie filling
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat and Prepare
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures your pies bake up golden brown and perfectly cooked.
- Lightly grease the 8 holes in a muffin tin to prevent the mini pies from sticking.
Step 2: Prepare the Cinnamon Roll Dough
- Open the can of cinnamon roll dough and separate the rolls. You’ll have 8 individual dough pieces.
- Flatten each cinnamon roll slightly with your hands or use a rolling pin to form a small disk. This helps the dough better fit into the muffin tin and form a nice crust for the pies.
Step 3: Assemble the Pies
- Place each flattened dough disk into the prepared muffin tin, gently pressing down to create a small cup shape.
- Spoon a generous amount of peach pie filling into each dough cup. Be careful not to overfill to avoid spillage while baking. If the peach slices are large, you can cut them into smaller pieces to make them easier to eat.
Step 4: Bake the Pies
- Bake the pies for 12-15 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and fully cooked through. Keep an eye on them to make sure they don’t burn, as ovens vary.
Step 5: Add the Icing
- Once the pies have baked, allow them to cool slightly in the muffin tin to avoid burning yourself.
- Drizzle the icing from the cinnamon roll can over the top of each mini pie. The sweet, creamy icing adds a lovely finishing touch that enhances the cinnamon flavor in the crust.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy
- Once the icing has set, remove the mini pies from the muffin tin. They are best served slightly warm but can also be enjoyed at room temperature.
- These mini pies are perfect for a quick snack, dessert, or even a fun addition to a brunch spread!
Notes
- Fruit Filling Variations: While peach pie filling is delicious, feel free to experiment with other canned fruit pie fillings such as apple, cherry, or blueberry. Each filling will give the mini pies a slightly different flavor profile while keeping the recipe just as simple.
- Dough Substitutions: If you don’t have cinnamon roll dough, you can substitute it with biscuit dough for a slightly different texture. The biscuits will still provide a nice crust, but the flavor will be less sweet and cinnamon-infused.
- Toppings: Instead of using the icing that comes with the cinnamon rolls, you can drizzle a bit of caramel or chocolate sauce over the pies for an extra indulgent touch. A dusting of powdered sugar also makes a lovely, simple garnish.
