If you’re thinking of making peach pies as a family dessert, you may be wondering how to make individual peach pies. This article will provide the information you need to make mini pies and even better, the best part is that they are simple and quick to make. You can even use canned peaches for this recipe. Just follow these easy steps to create a delicious individual peach pie. After that, just prepare your ingredients and you’re good to go!
Mini pies
To make individual peach pies, begin by peeling the peaches and slicing them thinly. Place the slices in a large bowl and mix in the brown sugar, bourbon, flour, and 2 tablespoons of melted butter. Stir until the peaches are well coated. Fill each jar with the peach mixture. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown. Allow to cool before serving.
The filling for individual pies is easy to prepare, starting with cinnamon, brown sugar, and peaches. Add almond extract for an extra twist. If you do not like almonds, omit the extract. Do not overfill the pies; this can lead to unsealing and leaks. Make sure each pie is sealed tightly before refrigerating. Once filled, the pies can be transported and stored easily.
The filling should be chilled before baking. The jars can be frozen, so you can give them as gifts to friends and family. When ready to serve, place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. If you prefer, you can bake the jars at room temperature or serve them warm. The pies will keep for up to two days in the refrigerator. If they aren’t quite cold, keep them refrigerated for at least 15 minutes before serving.
If you don’t have fresh peaches, you can use frozen or canned. Just make sure to drain the canned ones well. Then, bake them until they are golden brown. Then, remove the foil and serve! Voilà! Individual peach pies that you’ll love! Once you’ve made them, your family will be raving over them for days! And remember, it’s easy and fun to serve them to your friends.
Canned peaches
Del Monte’s Peaches with Cinnamon and Brown Sugar Fruit Cups can be turned into individual jar-sized peach pies. To make individual peach pies with canned peaches, simply cut the fruit cups in half. Fill each half with the pie filling. Top with a dollop of whipped cream and serve. Whether you serve individual pies for one person or serve them to a crowd, these fruit cups are a quick and easy way to create a homemade peach pie.
If you’d rather not deal with the messy work of making a full-sized pie, consider making individual fried pies instead. These pies are the perfect snack, brunch, or lunch treat. They don’t require any baking experience or special skills, and the ingredients are readily available. If you don’t have time to bake a pie crust, you can use refrigerator-baked puff pastry or frozen pie dough.
To make individual pies with canned peaches, first drain the peaches well. Then, place them in a paper bag with a bit of sugar and vanilla. To remove the skins, use a “blanching” method. This method involves making an “X”-shaped cut in the bottom of the peach, then lowering it into boiling water for 30 seconds. Once it’s cooled, remove it from the water and place it in an ice bath.
If you don’t want to use a muffin pan, you can buy a standard muffin pan. You’ll need a three-inch round biscuit cutter to cut out four circles. You’ll need a second biscuit cutter to cut out four more circles. You can also use a 2″ round cutter to cut out 4 circles of dough. Using this method, you’ll have 4 individual pies that serve about eight people. Once you’ve completed this step, you can bake your pies until they’re golden and the filling bubbles.
Crumb topping
Make the crust for your individual peach pies by lining the pie pan with a piece of parchment paper. Place the crust on a baking sheet and chill it for at least 20 minutes before assembling the filling. Combine the brown sugar, cinnamon and butter in a food processor. Add a few ounces of butter and oats, and pulse until combined. Pour the filling into the crust and top with crumbs. Bake for about 50 minutes, until the top is golden.
Prepare the pie crust by rolling out the pastry on a floured surface. Then, divide the pie crust into two balls. For precision, you can also use a kitchen scale. Mix together the dough and press it into thick disks. Refrigerate the crust while preparing the peach filling. Once the crust is ready, roll it out between two pieces of wax paper, preventing it from sticking to the pastry. Then, transfer the crust to the pie plate.
To make individual peach pies, use cold butter and add some sugar to the mix. Melting the butter will create layers in the pie crust, so the topping will make the pie more tender. Peaches should be firm, but not too soft, because if they are too soft, they will break apart during baking. However, don’t remove the skin of the peaches; it adds flavor and color to the pie.
When you have finished preparing the peach filling, make the crumble. Sprinkle sugar over the top and bake for about 30 to 40 minutes. Then remove the pie from the oven. Allow it to cool for at least 2 hours before slicing. When cool, garnish with powdered sugar and ice cream and enjoy! If you prefer, you can freeze the individual peach pies for up to a week.
Baking
One of the easiest ways to enjoy a sweet, summer dessert is by baking individual peach pies. You can skip the tedious process of baking an entire pie, and the end result will be a personal treat. Plus, they are so cute that you can serve them to guests as they arrive. So, get baking! Here’s how:
Begin by dividing the peach mixture among four muffin cups. You’ll need two different biscuit cutters: one for the standard-size muffin pan and one for the Texas-sized muffin pan. First, take a 3″ round cutter, and cut out four circles of dough. Afterwards, cut out four more circles using a 2″ round biscuit cutter. Once the pies are filled, refrigerate them for about 30 minutes, so the pastry can fully set.
When the pies are ready, you can brush them with egg wash and sprinkle them with raw sugar. Brush the dough with the egg wash, and place them on two baking sheets. Bake the pies for approximately 40 to 45 minutes, and switch them half way through baking. Remove them from the oven and allow to cool before serving. Then, drizzle caramel sauce over them, if desired. This dessert will be delicious whether served warm or room temperature.
Now, you’re ready to bake your pies. Place the bottom crusts in the muffin tin. Fill each tin to the top, then cover the pies with a pie crust. Use a fork tine to press the edges and poke them a few times to ensure they seal. Once you’ve baked your pies, brush them with egg white. Once baked, they are ready to serve!
Freezing
If you’d like to freeze individual peach pies, it’s a simple process. After baking the peach pie, you should thaw it completely by transferring it to a freezer-safe bag or container. When the time comes to serve, simply take out the pie from the freezer, unwrap it, and place it in a standard pie dish. Freezing peach pies is a great way to enjoy them anytime of year!
To make individual peach pies, prepare the dough for the crust. You will need a 3″ round biscuit cutter to cut four circles of dough. You’ll also need a 2″ biscuit cutter to cut four more circles. Once the dough is prepared, press the bottom and top pieces together, and cut a slit in the top of the pie. Alternatively, you can purchase a Texas-sized muffin pan and use a 4″ round cutter.
Once frozen, unwrap the pie and place it on a baking sheet, preferably one that will be able to hold the overflow. Bake the pie at 300degF for 15 to 20 minutes, depending on its size. You may have to make some adjustments based on the amount of filling, but it should be ready to serve. Cream pies and custard pies do not freeze well. If you need to store them in the fridge, simply thaw them overnight or place them in a freezer-safe container.
You can make up to six individual peach pies if you use the same filling as you would for one large pie. You can also make individual peach pies from the leftovers of other desserts. Just make sure you use one of your leftover pie crusts for a second time. For an even sweeter dessert, consider using a small can of peach pie filling. In a pinch, you can also add some cinnamon to the mixture.
