Method
Prepare and fill the tin
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and spray a 24-cup mini muffin tin with cooking spray.
- Toss the diced strawberries and peaches with granulated sugar, cornstarch, fresh lemon juice, and cinnamon; set aside.
- Roll out the refrigerated pie crusts and cut 24 circles using a 3-inch round cutter.
- Press one dough circle into each muffin cup to form a mini pastry base.
- Fill each cup with a heaping teaspoon of the strawberry peach filling.
Criss-cross and bake
- Cut small strips from the remaining dough and criss-cross them over the tops of each bite.
- Brush the criss-crossed tops with egg wash (beaten egg mixed with 1 tablespoon water).
- Bake at 375°F for 16-18 minutes, until the mini pie bites turn golden.
- Cool in the muffin tin for 15 minutes, then dust with powdered sugar.
- Serve warm or at room temperature so the filling finishes setting.
Notes
For the juiciest texture, keep the filling chunky and heaped so it stays jammy after baking. Store cooled pie bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 3 days; rewarm in the oven at 325°F for 5-7 minutes. Freezing: yes—freeze baked bites airtight up to 2 months, then thaw overnight in the fridge and rewarm. Dietary swap: use a gluten-free pie crust if you want gluten-free mini hand pies (follow package baking temps if different).
