Pie.
But then again, who doesn't love pie?! I also love mini things. Mini cheesecakes, miniskirts, minnie mouse ;) Everything is cuter when its miniature. Like these pies:
My next door neighbor asked me to make all of the food for an international themed baby shower she threw. The couple had ties to several places across the world, one of which was Georgia. Mini Peach pies were the perfect choice to represent this sweet state!
First, I used store bought pie dough. There are lots of great recipes out there, but I hadn't made it before, and was already trying enough new recipes, I knew I could count on Pillsbury to help me out. I used a biscuit cutter to cut out 24 circles.
And then once I completely Crisco and Flour-ed my 24 mini-muffin tin, I pressed the circles into each cup.
After all of the cups were full of their bottom crust...
I spooned in the peach pie filling, and then made Lattice tops.
I don't think there is anything sweeter than a pie with a lattice top. And they are so easy to do!
I then brushed the tops with eggwash, and baked for 25 minutes at 350*.
Peach Pie Filling Recipe:
Umm, I don't have one. I took canned peaches, and did a mixture of sugar, brown sugar, nutmeg, cinnamon, butter and flour, and added everything to a food processor to make a puree. Since these pies were so small, I knew I couldn't have large chunks of peaches. You could also buy canned peach pie filling and blend that down.
Hello, lovelies!
I served them room temperature, with powdered sugar dusted on top.
You are a big overachiever, and somehow it doesn't even make me hate you. How do you do that?!? Heh, in all seriousness though, those look SO GOOD! =)
ReplyDeleteThese look awesome!
ReplyDeleteI tried the cake pops this weekend and they were a HUGE hit! I'm going to make them for a baby shower in a few weeks!
Those are so pretty and look SO good!
ReplyDeleteI am the next door neighbor -- these were DELICIOUS. And so was everything else Kelly made for the party!!! :) Thank you again so much Kelly for doing such an awesome job. My childhood friend, the guest of honor at this particular party, had a wonderful time at her baby shower, and still has not stopped expressing her joy at the time and thought put into the "themed" foods.
ReplyDeleteThese are incredible! I want to bite into one pronto!
ReplyDeleteThese are awesome! I love all the food you make!
ReplyDeleteThose just look so perfect! Love them! They look like a ton of work but oh so worth it!
ReplyDeleteOh wow. I am drooling. These look delicious!! I will definitely be making these for the next party we throw or go to. Thank you! (and great job on the lattices!)
ReplyDeleteThese look so good!! I need to get supplies to bake them soon :)
ReplyDeleteI look forward to trying your recipe - might even try it with cherries too!
ReplyDeleteWow, those look good! What kind of pie crust do you buy? The ones I bought have not been very good. Homemade is so much better.
ReplyDeleteMy question is... how did you get them out of the pan, and still looking so nice??? Im afraid it wouldnt work!??!?!
ReplyDeletehow great!!! im the only one in my family that likes peach pie** so these are perfect!!can't wait to make them~~ thank you~~
ReplyDeleteI totally love this idea...I never seem to remember those tins for such special individual treats!! They look awesome!!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely wonderful...I too, like mini baked goods, just made mini loaves of pound cake to go with some fresh Georgia peaches and fresh whipped cream for dessert tonight...Thanks for sharing...
ReplyDeleteMy teen that's in 4-H thinks that these might be a future project for him ;o)
ReplyDeleteI bet mini apple pies with crumb topping would be a good fall festival treat! Great idea!
ReplyDeletewow, those are awesome!!
ReplyDeleteYes they look wonderful and they look yummy.. Too fussy for me though.. I would never attempt to make them.
ReplyDeleteSO DEELISH THANX FOR SHARING =)
ReplyDeleteO M W...my mouth is watering...and then to see how easy this appears...I wanna try now!! lol
ReplyDeleteMy hubby even said he may help me make them!! :)
What a GREAT idea! I've used muffin pans for the usual stuff, and even mini meatloafs, but never thought of pie! That's next!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great idea. I am going to try this recipe, and I am going to also use apple filling. YUMO!!♥ A. Jones, Novi, MI
ReplyDeleteCecilia - I used Pillsbury refrigerated crust, and it tasted great!
ReplyDeleteAnonymous - I used Crisco to grease up the pan, then coated them with flour. The pies popped right out without a bit of hesitation!
I am going to Culinary school next month because I love doing this kind of stuff. I just love making up my own recipes and adding a touch of myself to the ones I find. I am so glad I came across this blog. There is nothing I'd change about this. I love love love it. Perfect! I will be adding your home blog to my favorites. Keep doing what you are doing girl. You are on the right path.
ReplyDeleteYou could also use pureed baby food or the junior baby food that would have small chunks. It also would not have a lot of sugar. you could add more cinnamon if you wanted. You could also either cook down applesauce or do a slurry of corn starch to thicken the applesauce.
ReplyDeleteYou're a gal after my own heart...using store-bought pastry dough ; )
ReplyDeleteI'm going to have to try these, thanks!!!

This is such a creative idea. They look so delicious! I love your blog.
ReplyDeleteSo cute. Thanks for sharing a great idea.
ReplyDeleteOur family has dessert parties at birthdays. The only problem is that you want a taste of everything. I could see making these mini pies in several different fruit flavors. The smaller size means you get to taste more than one!
ReplyDeleteI really, really, really did not need to find this. I LOVE pie 2!!! Thanks Sugar.♥
ReplyDeleteI wanna know what else you served. :o) More recipes like this one please.
ReplyDeleteI just found your blog. This is the cutest thing yet. I can't wait to wow my friends with your darling idea. I think I will read and see how you do as a new Mrs. I was a new Mrs. everyday for 31 years! You go, girl!
ReplyDeleteHow much butter and flour did you use?
ReplyDeleteI just made these with apples: soo cute and muy delicioso :]. They're so fun to eat, too!
ReplyDeleteYour mini pies are so perfect!
