Is there anything better than fresh peaches? My mom used to buy the freshest peaches she could find, blanch them to remove the skin and we’d eat them by the bowl full. I think there might have been angelfood cake and whipping cream involved as well? (My family ate a LOT of angelfood cake when I was growing up.) But I just remember those yummy peaches! And then I was at the store yesterday and they had these amazing, fresh local strawberries, so I snagged a pint of those to bring home for this recipe. In the back of my mind I was thinking, that’s weird, these must have been grown in a greenhouse to be ready so early? But then I remembered it’s June and they are totally ready! And then it occurred to me that it’s June and school is almost over! And I have no summer plans for the kids! If I have all three of them at home for the summer without a babysitter I’m not going to be able to work. Holy cow! Mini freakout session here. And completely unrelated to strawberry peach pie bites. Sorry. I’m done. You can continue safely now. I’ll be okay.
Have you seen the recipe floating around on Pinterest for apple pie bites? They look amazing! But they kind of seem like a fall treat to me, so I thought to myself, “I wonder if you can make them with fresh, seasonal ingredients?” And guess what? You totally can. In fact, they tasted amaaaaaaaaaazing. I haven’t tried the apple ones myself yet, but I bet they taste just as good. Such an awesome recipe that’s so easy to make! I just love it!
Strawberry Peach Pie Bites
The full printable recipe is at the bottom of this post, but here’s what you’ll need:
Peaches Strawberries Refrigerated Crescent Roll Dough Butter Sugar Cinnamon
You know me and baking… I’m not the best make-it-from-scratch baker. So there’s no way I was going to make my own dough here. But the refrigerated stuff was so easy and it actually tasted reeeeally good.
These are so simple to make. Spread out the crescent roll dough onto parchment paper. Then sprinkle the cinnamon/sugar mixture evenly over top.
Pour melted butter over the strawberries and peaches and stir until they are well coated. Then add one peach slice to the long end of each piece of dough.
And then add two strawberry slices on top.
Roll them up like a crescent roll. I found it worked better when I pinched the ends closed and then under a bit.
I had leftover melted butter so I brushed it over each one and then sprinkled more cinnamon over top.
When they came out of the oven, the sugar and butter mixture bubbled and eventually hardened into a candy like piece that you could just break away. Melted sugar and butter… Mmmmm…
These were just calling out for a glaze to be drizzled over top. I just mixed milk and icing sugar for my glaze. Mmmm…
They were so moist, with just the right amount of sweetness. Enough to cut any sourness that the fruit might have had, but not so much that it over powered the natural flavour of the fresh peaches and strawberries. Mmmm… there’s a lot of Mmmmm… going on in this post. Sorry. But it’s making me hungry looking at the photos. They were so good!!
These strawberry peach pie bites are so easy to make and they taste AMAZING! They taste just like strawberry peach pie, but they’re crazy simple to make. My kids aren’t big pie eaters but they absolutely devoured these. What a great recipe to make with fresh, seasonal fruits! Yum!
