Do you ever find yourself stuck with rejected pieces of pie dough leftover from a recipe that they never made it into, and wish you could make use of them? I always have such good intentions with those unwanted scraps, and end up saving them until they get gross, and then..out they go! Well, I finally made great use of my dough scraps and from now on, you should too..here’s why! 🙂
Check out how adorable these little peachy knots are! And wow..do they pack a flavor punch!
I figured Garlic has its knots, why can’t peach pie..lol?! And they sure did live up to all the expectations of a delicious knotted treat! The crispy & flaky pie crust holding on tightly to a sweet, jam glazed, warm and juicy peach slice is ahh-mazing! Not to mention that they’re the perfect size, for enjoying a bunch few and not feeling guilty! They’re so small that you’ll have calories left in your “bank” to dip them into some cold ice cream…yeah, that’s right! 🙂
What you’ll need:
Scraps of Pie dough (although, these are definitely worth a trip to the store)
Fresh Peach slices
Peach Jam
1 egg for “glue”
Sugar for a sweet & sparkly sprinkle
Directions:
Roll out your dough, and spread an even layer of the Peach Jam onto it
Slice the dough into 1″ strips, 2 per each peach slice, make sure they’re long enough to wrap around the slice and tie a knot
Brush the knots with some egg and sprinkle them with sugar
Bake them at 350 for about 15-20 minutes, or until they’re golden and smell amazing! 🙂
Serve warm with ice cream and enjoy your little knot of peach pie heaven! ~Enjoy!
What a cute idea. I never have scraps because I bake them on top of the pie as decorations. But I’d be willing to make a fresh batch of pie dough to make these because they’re adorable 🙂
@Anita..Next time I’ll do some decorations on the top of the pie, that’s a great idea! Anything to help my “baking” abilities..LOL! 🙂
There’s no other pie better than peach & there’s no better ice cream dipping agent than peach pie! Seriously, yum! Love this idea!
Yup… I could eat about a dozen of these. 🙂 Great for a summer party, too.
What an adorable idea! I’ll have to try it.
