Ingredients You’ll Need
To make these little pockets of joy, all you need is:
1 (12.4 oz) can cinnamon roll dough with icing (usually comes in a pack of 8 rolls)
1 (21 oz) can peach pie filling
That’s it. No eggs, butter, flour, or sugar needed. These store-bought heroes do all the heavy lifting, saving you time while delivering incredible flavor.
Optional Add-Ins (if you want to elevate)
A pinch of nutmeg or cardamom for warmth
A sprinkle of chopped pecans or walnuts for crunch
A few dabs of cream cheese for richness
A drizzle of honey after baking
A spoonful of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream on top
While this recipe shines as-is, you can absolutely personalize it to your taste.
How to Make Them (Step-by-Step Instructions)
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with nonstick spray or paper liners.
Open the cinnamon roll can and separate the rolls. Gently flatten each roll into a disk using your fingers or the bottom of a glass to make small pie crusts.
Press each flattened roll into the muffin tin, gently forming a cup up the sides.
Open the can of peach pie filling. Use a spoon to scoop about 1 to 2 tablespoons of filling into each cinnamon roll cup. Be sure to get plenty of those juicy peach chunks.
Bake for 12 to 16 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the dough is cooked through.
Remove from oven and let them cool slightly in the pan before transferring to a wire rack.
While still warm, drizzle with the icing that came with the cinnamon rolls. Serve warm or room temperature.
In under 30 minutes, you’ll have perfectly portioned, peach-packed pastries ready to enjoy.
Tips for Best Results
Use a regular-size muffin tin for the best structure
Flatten the rolls evenly so they bake uniformly
Don’t overfill with peach pie filling—too much may bubble over
Let them cool slightly before removing from the pan to avoid tearing
Use the icing packet while the pies are still warm so it melts beautifully over the top
Chill the peach filling briefly if it’s too runny—this helps with scooping
These small steps make a big difference in both presentation and taste.
