Let me tell you about these adorable mini peach pies that have become my favorite last minute dessert savior. The magic happens when you combine sweet peach filling with flaky cinnamon roll dough creating the most incredible bite sized treats. Every time I make these my kitchen fills with the coziest aroma.

These little pies have saved me so many times when I need a quick dessert. With just two ingredients and barely any prep they're perfect for those moments when unexpected guests drop by or when that sweet craving hits. Plus cleanup is a breeze which always makes me happy.
What You'll Need
Let's Make Some Magic
Mix It Up
One thing I love about these pies is how easy they are to customize. Sometimes I'll swap in cherry filling when peaches aren't in season or toss in some blueberries for fun. My kids go crazy for the apple version and adding chopped pecans on top gives them the perfect crunch.

My Best Baking Tips
After making these countless times I've learned a few tricks. Make sure to really press that dough flat in your muffin tin and don't overfill or they'll bubble over. A good coating of cooking spray is your best friend for easy removal trust me on this one.
Keep Them Fresh
These little pies stay perfectly fresh in an airtight container on your counter for a couple days. Pop them in the fridge and they'll last even longer. I've even frozen a batch before a party and they thawed beautifully just like fresh baked.
Perfect Helper Recipe
My kids absolutely love helping make these. With just two ingredients it's the perfect way to get little hands involved in the kitchen. They have so much fun pressing the dough and spooning in the filling. It's become our favorite weekend baking project.
Make It Extra Special
Want to take these pies over the top? Serve them warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream melting over the top. Sometimes I'll add a dollop of whipped cream too. The combination of warm pie and cold cream is absolutely heavenly.
Easy Entertaining
These mini pies have become my go to dessert when I need something quick but impressive. They look like they took way more effort than they actually did and everyone loves having their own individual pie. It's like a little gift of sweetness.

Party Perfect
Whether it's a backyard barbecue or holiday gathering these little pies always steal the show. Their bite size makes them perfect for buffets and everyone can grab one without needing plates or forks. Plus they're so pretty on a serving tray.
Add Your Own Touch
Sometimes I like to jazz up the filling with a pinch of cinnamon or splash of vanilla. A touch of nutmeg gives them a cozy warmth that's perfect for fall. It's amazing how these little additions can transform the flavor.
Perfect for Busy Days
On those crazy busy days when I still want to serve something homemade these pies are my secret weapon. They come together so quickly and the smell of them baking makes the whole house feel warm and welcoming.
No Fuss Baking
Forget rolling out pie dough or measuring ingredients. The premade cinnamon roll dough does all the work for you. It's like having a baking assistant in your fridge ready to help whip up something delicious at a moment's notice.
Cozy Comfort
There's something so comforting about enjoying these little pies with your favorite hot drink. I love them with my morning coffee but they're just as perfect with afternoon tea or a cold glass of milk for the kids.

Fun with Kids
My little ones love these pies almost as much as they love helping make them. The best part is letting them drizzle the icing on top. Sure it gets a bit messy but seeing their proud smiles makes it all worth it.
Easy on the Wallet
When you need to make something sweet but don't want to spend much these pies are perfect. Just grab two ingredients and you're set. They taste like they cost way more than they do which is always a win in my book.
Make Them Special
Sometimes I skip the packaged icing and whip up a quick cream cheese frosting or vanilla glaze. It takes just a minute but makes these little pies feel extra fancy. Perfect when you want to impress without much extra work.
Outdoor Ready
These mini pies are my favorite thing to pack for picnics and outdoor gatherings. They travel so well and since they're individually sized there's no need for cutting or serving pieces. Just grab and enjoy under the sun.
Year Round Joy
While I love using peach filling you can really make these pies match any season. Try pumpkin in fall strawberry in spring or apple in winter. It's like having a new dessert for every season using the same easy recipe.
