Ingredients
- 1 (12.4-ounce) can cinnamon roll dough with icing (8-count)
- 1 (21-ounce) can peach pie filling
Instructions
1. Preheat Your Oven
Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and allow it to fully preheat before baking. This ensures even cooking and a perfect golden crust.
2. Prepare Your Muffin Tin
Lightly grease 8 cups of a standard muffin tin using cooking spray or a thin layer of butter. This prevents sticking and makes it easier to remove the pies after baking.
3. Shape the Dough
Open the can of cinnamon roll dough and separate the rolls. Using your hands or a rolling pin, gently flatten each roll into a small disk. These disks will serve as the crust for your mini pies.
4. Form the Crust
Press each flattened dough piece into the greased muffin tin, molding it to create a cup shape. Be sure to press the dough slightly up the sides to create space for the filling.
5. Add the Peach Filling
Spoon a generous amount of peach pie filling into each dough cup. Avoid overfilling to prevent spillage during baking. If your filling contains large peach slices, chop them into smaller pieces to ensure even distribution.
6. Bake the Mini Pies
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and cooked through. Keep an eye on them to prevent overbaking.
7. Cool and Add Icing
Allow the mini pies to cool for a few minutes in the muffin tin. Once slightly cooled, drizzle the icing from the cinnamon roll package over the top of each pie for extra sweetness.
8. Serve and Enjoy
Gently remove the mini pies from the muffin tin and serve warm. They pair wonderfully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
Notes
Avoid Overfilling
Too much filling can cause the peach mixture to spill over the edges while baking. To prevent this, leave a small gap at the top of each dough cup.
Ensure Even Baking
If your oven has uneven heat distribution, rotate the muffin tin halfway through baking to ensure all pies bake evenly.
How to Tell if the Pies are Done
The pies are ready when the dough turns golden brown and feels firm to the touch. If unsure, insert a toothpick into the crust—if it comes out clean, they’re done.
Cooling for Easier Removal
Let the pies cool for at least 5 minutes before removing them from the muffin tin. This helps them set properly and reduces the risk of breaking.
