Ingredients You’ll Need

• 1 (12.4 oz) can cinnamon roll dough with icing (8-count)
• 1 (21 oz) can peach pie filling

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat the oven:
   • Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a muffin tin.
2. Make the crusts:
   • Separate the cinnamon rolls and press each one into the bottom and up the sides of 8 muffin cups. Shape gently to form a well in the center, creating a mini pie crust.
3. Add the filling:
   • Spoon peach pie filling into each crust. If your canned peaches come in large slices, chop them into smaller chunks for easier scooping and eating. Fill generously but avoid overflowing.
4. Bake:
   • Bake for 13–17 minutes, until the cinnamon roll crusts are golden brown and puffed, and the filling is warm and slightly bubbling at the edges.
5. Cool and drizzle:
   • Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for about 5 minutes to set slightly.
   • Transfer each mini pie to a wire rack using a spoon or offset spatula.
   • While still warm, drizzle the included icing over each pie in a zigzag pattern.
6. Serve:
   • Serve warm for a gooey, just-baked treat, or let cool to room temperature for easier handling. Garnish with whipped cream, ice cream, or a sprinkle of crushed nuts if desired.

Serving and Storage Tips

These mini peach pies are best served warm when the filling is gooey and the cinnamon roll crust is tender yet crisp. A scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream adds a creamy contrast that makes them feel extra special.

Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for up to 4 days. To reheat, microwave for 15-20 seconds, or place in a 300°F oven for 5-7 minutes to regain that freshly-baked texture. These are also great to pack into lunchboxes or enjoy as an on-the-go snack.

Helpful Notes

• Chop peaches: Cut large peach slices into bite-sized pieces for even filling.
• Customize: Substitute peach pie filling with apple, cherry, blueberry, or mixed fruit for variety.
• Extra cinnamon: Add a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar or nutmeg before baking for more warm spice.
• Line the pan: Paper muffin liners help with cleanup and easy removal.
• Garnish ideas: Top with chopped pecans, a drizzle of caramel, or powdered sugar after baking.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can I use homemade pie filling? Absolutely! Just ensure it's thick enough to hold its shape in the crust and not too runny to avoid sogginess.
2. Can I use a different brand of cinnamon rolls? Yes, any brand of refrigerated cinnamon roll dough will work. Bake time may vary slightly depending on size and dough type.
3. Do these freeze well? While they’re best fresh, you can freeze them after baking. Wrap individually and store in an airtight container. Reheat in the oven to restore texture.
4. What if I don't have a muffin tin? Use ramekins or silicone muffin molds on a baking sheet. Just make sure the dough is shaped to hold the filling well.
5. Can I make these ahead for a party? Yes! Bake them a few hours ahead and warm them in a low oven before serving. Add the icing drizzle just before presenting.
