Mini Peach Pies
These individual-sized peach pies are perfect for any gathering or as a sweet indulgence for yourself. Their flaky crust paired with a succulent peach filling is sure to impress.
### Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter, chilled and diced
- 4-5 tablespoons ice water
- 2-3 medium ripe peaches, peeled and diced
- ½ cup granulated sugar (adjust based on peach sweetness)
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon milk (for egg wash)
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and sugar. Add the chilled butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in the ice water, a tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together. Divide the dough into two equal parts, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- While the dough is chilling, prepare the peach filling. In another bowl, combine the diced peaches, sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Stir gently to mix and set aside.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out one half of the dough on a floured surface to about ¼ inch thickness and cut out circles that fit into a muffin tin.
- Place the dough circles into the muffin tin and fill each with the peach mixture.
- Roll out the second half of the dough, cut out more circles, and place them over the peach filling, sealing the edges. Cut slits in the top for steam to escape.
- In a small bowl, beat the egg and milk together. Brush this mixture over the top of each pie for a golden finish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
- Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy these mini peach pies warm or at room temperature!
Mini peach pies are a delightful way to celebrate the season. With their buttery crust and sweet filling, they are sure to become a favorite in your dessert repertoire. Enjoy making these delectable bites and share them with family and friends!
