Quick Peach Pies
Quick and delicious peach pies made with biscuit dough and peach filling, perfect for a sweet snack or dessert that appeals to all ages and requires minimal effort.
Ingredients
- 1 can butter-me-not biscuits
- 1 can peach pie filling ⓘ
Instructions
- Roll biscuits out thin; cover with 2 tablespoons of peach pie filling.
- Fold over and seal the edges with a fork.
- Fry in hot Crisco until golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For a twist on flavor, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the peach filling. If you don’t have Crisco, vegetable oil works well for frying too. For a lighter version, bake the pies in the oven at 375°F for about 15-20 minutes until golden. You can also use fresh peaches instead of canned pie filling for a fresher taste. Be sure to seal the edges well to prevent leaks while frying.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these quick peach pies warm, dusted with powdered sugar for a sweet touch. They pair beautifully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. For a delightful breakfast, enjoy them with a side of Honeyed Yams or fresh fruit. These pies are a great dessert option after a hearty meal, complementing dishes like Malena's Sweet Potato Cobbler.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover peach pies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes to restore their crispness. For a quick option, you can microwave them for 20-30 seconds, but this may make the crust softer. If you want to keep them longer, consider freezing them before frying.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use other fruits besides peaches for this recipe?
Absolutely! You can substitute the peach pie filling with other fruit fillings like apple, cherry, or even mixed berries. Just ensure the filling is not too watery to keep the pies from becoming soggy. Experimenting with different fruit fillings can lead to delicious variations of this recipe.
How do I know when the pies are done frying?
The pies are done when they are golden brown on both sides, typically taking about 2-3 minutes per side in hot oil. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning. If you're unsure, you can do a test fry with one pie and adjust the cooking time as needed.
Can I make the dough from scratch instead of using biscuits?
Yes, you can make the dough from scratch if you prefer. A simple biscuit dough using flour, baking powder, butter, and milk will work well. Just roll it out thinly and proceed with the filling and frying as you would with store-bought biscuits.
