I can’t help but smile when I think about the first time I made these peach pie bombs. It was a sun-soaked afternoon during peach season, and the kitchen was filled with warm, inviting aromas. My husband, who usually doesn’t show much excitement for dessert, took one bite and immediately declared them one of his new favorites. We’ve made them a staple during family gatherings ever since. The kids love them too, and there’s something magical about watching them eagerly help roll out the dough and fill each bomb with glistening peach slices. It’s become our little tradition—one that creates not only delicious treats but also great memories.

Why You’ll Love This Delish Peach Pie Bombs

These delightful pastries offer delightful, flaky crusts that cradle juicily sweet peach filling, making each bite a burst of flavor. They’re versatile enough to serve as a simple dessert or a stunning addition to brunch. Plus, they are the perfect recipe to make with loved ones, encouraging laughter and teamwork in the kitchen. Once you try them, you’ll find it hard to imagine summer days without these comforting treats.

Behind the Recipe

Making these peach pie bombs at home first taught me the magic of using fresh ingredients. The choice of ripe, juicy peaches can make or break this recipe, so I’ve learned the importance of trusting my senses when shopping. I’ve also discovered that the dough can feel intimidating at first, but with a bit of patience and practice, it comes together beautifully. A generous sprinkle of cinnamon along with the peaches elevates their natural sweetness, creating a cozy flavor profile that I can hardly resist.

Shopping Tips

When selecting peaches, look for ones that are gently fragrant and give slightly when squeezed; this indicates ripeness. Avoid any with wrinkles or blemishes. For the dough, a high-quality all-purpose flour will do wonders; I prefer to stick with brands I know, especially when baking is involved. Checking labels for any additives in pre-made pie crust can also save you from unwanted surprises, ensuring your dessert stays delicious from start to finish.

Prep Ahead Ideas

You can prep the dough and peaches a day ahead to speed up your time in the kitchen. Roll out the dough, cut it into circles, and store it between parchment paper in the fridge. Peeling and slicing the peaches can also be done in advance, just toss them in a bit of lemon juice to keep them from browning. Preparing ahead of time makes assembly a breeze, especially on busy weeknights or during special family gatherings.

Time-Saving Tricks

One of my favorite shortcuts is using pre-made pie crusts when time is tight; just the right amount of flakiness without taking hours in the kitchen! Mise en place is also key—it truly cuts down on prep time and creates a more organized cooking experience. And though it’s tempting to rush things, allowing the filled bombs to rest before baking helps the flavors meld beautifully and encourages that irresistible flaky texture.

Common Mistakes

A frequent pitfall when making these pie bombs is overfilling them with peaches—trust me, I’ve made this mistake! Use just enough to fill them without overflowing. Sometimes, I’ve also encountered dry or tough crust from over-baking. Keeping an eye on them during the last few minutes will ensure that perfect golden color without losing moisture. If they do come out a touch dry, a quick drizzle of cream or cream cheese glaze saves the day perfectly.

What to Serve It With

These peach pie bombs pair wonderfully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, adding richness to the juicy filling. For a brunch spread, serve them alongside fresh fruit and coffee, or enjoy them with a glass of sweet iced tea for a true summer experience.

Tips & Mistakes

Be gentle while assembling the bombs to avoid tearing the dough. Watch out for any air pockets that may need to be pressed out to create a defined shape. If you find yourself with leftover filling, try adding it to yogurt for a delicious breakfast treat!

Storage Tips

Store in airtight containers in the fridge. It reheats beautifully, but if you sneak a bite cold straight from the container, it still works.

Variations and Substitutions

If fresh peaches are unavailable, frozen peaches (thawed and well-drained) can do just fine, though fresh is always best for flavor. You can also swap out some of the peaches for ripe berries for a mixed-fruit experience.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use other fruits in these pie bombs?

Absolutely! Apples, cherries, and even berries all work well. Just adjust the sugar based on the fruit’s sweetness.

Is it necessary to use a homemade pie crust?

Not at all! Store-bought pie crusts are convenient and will yield delicious results—perfect for busy days.

How do I prevent the filling from leaking out during baking?

Make sure to seal the edges of the dough carefully and avoid overfilling. A little egg wash can also help seal them nicely.

Can they be frozen for later use?

Yes! You can freeze the unbaked pie bombs. Just assemble them, freeze on a baking sheet, and transfer to an airtight container once solid.

What if I want to make a smaller version?

You can easily adjust the size! Just cut the dough into smaller circles for bite-sized treats, and adjust baking time accordingly.

Main Ingredients

▢ 1 lb fresh peaches, diced Choose ripe peaches for the best flavor.

Instructions

Preparation Steps

Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a bowl, mix the diced peaches with sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice until well combined. Set this peach mixture aside to let the flavors mingle.
Roll out the pie dough on a lightly floured surface and cut it into squares, about 4 inches each. Spoon a generous amount of the peach mixture onto the center of each square.
Fold the dough over the filling to create a pocket, pressing the edges together to seal well. You can crimp them with a fork for a decorative touch.
Place each bomb on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with beaten egg for a shiny finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.
If you're feeling a bit fancy, dust with powdered sugar just before serving for an extra touch of sweetness!

Notes

These peach pie bombs are best enjoyed warm, and they pair wonderfully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
