Ingredients:
Preparing the Fruit
The first step to creating these delightful pie bites is to prepare our star ingredients: the fruit. For the peaches, you’ll want to select ripe but firm ones. Overly soft peaches can become mushy during baking. If you’re using a large peach, you’ll cut it into 8 wedges. For smaller peaches, you’ll also aim for about 8 wedges in total. Make sure to remove the pit. For the strawberries, wash them thoroughly and remove the green tops. Cut each strawberry into approximately 4 slices, which will give you a total of 16 slices. Having these prepped and ready will make the assembly process much smoother.
Assembling the Pie Bites
Now comes the fun part – putting our pie bites together!
Preheat and Prep the Pan: Begin extract by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures that your oven is at the correct temperature when your pie bites are ready to bake, promoting even cooking and that beautiful golden-brown crust. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This is a crucial step as it prevents sticking and makes cleanup a breeze. You won’t have to scrub stubborn baked-on bits from your pan!
Prepare the Crescent Rolls: Carefully unroll the package of refrigerated crescent roll dough onto a lightly floured surface. You’ll notice that the dough is pre-perforated into triangles. Gently separate these triangles. For each pie bite, you’ll want to take one triangle and pinch the seams together to create a more solid base, essentially forming a small, senon-alcoholic aled pocket. Don’t worry if it’s not perfectly senon-alcoholic aled; a little bit of filling peeking out is part of the charm!
Fill the Dough: Now, it’s time to add the delicious fruit filling. Place one peach wedge onto the wider end of each crescent roll triangle. Then, arrange about 2 strawberry slices on top of the peach. You want to ensure you have a good balance of both fruits in each bite. Don’t overfill them, as this can cause the filling to leak out during baking. Think of it as creating a neat little fruit parcel.
Create the Topping Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, sugar, and cinnamon. This sweet and spiced mixture will be brushed over the fruit and dough. The butter will help to crisp up the crescent roll, the sugar will add sweetness, and the cinnamon provides that classic pie flavor that we all love. Stir this together until well combined.
Bake to Golden Perfection: Carefully brush the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the fruit and the exposed dough of each assembled pie bite. Then, gently fold the dough over the filling, creating a little pocket. Pinch the edges to seal them as best as you can. Place the pie bites onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one so they have room to expand. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are puffed up, golden brown, and the fruit is tender and bubbly. Keep an eye on them, as oven temperatures can vary.
The Finishing Touch: Glaze and Serve
Once your Strawberry Peach Pie Bites are out of the oven, they’ll be wonderfully fragrant and tempting. Allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool further. While they’re still warm, but not piping hot, it’s time for the final, delightful touch: the glaze.
In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and 1 tablespoon of milk until smooth. If the glaze is too thick, add another tablespoon of milk, a teaspoon at a time, until you reach your desired drizzling consistency. You want a glaze that is thin enough to drizzle easily but thick enough to coat the bites.
Drizzle the glaze generously over the cooled or slightly warm pie bites. The glaze will harden slightly as it cools, adding a beautiful finish and an extra touch of sweetness.
Serve these Strawberry Peach Pie Bites warm for the ultimate treat. They’re wonderful on their own, but you can also serve them with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an even more decadent experience. Enjoy every delicious bite of summer!
Conclusion:
There you have it – delicious Strawberry Peach Pie Bites that are sure to become a new favorite!

I love serving these warm with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream for an extra decadent experience, or chilled as a refreshing afternoon snack. Don’t be afraid to experiment with variations – a sprinkle of cinnamon in the filling or a dollop of whipped cream on top can elevate these bites even further!

Frequently Asked Questions:
Can I use frozen strawberries and peaches?
Absolutely! If using frozen fruit, make sure to thaw them completely and drain off any excess liquid before mixing them into the filling. This will help prevent your pie bites from becoming soggy.
How should I store leftover Strawberry Peach Pie Bites?
Store any leftover pie bites in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. For best results when reheating, a few minutes in a warm oven or toaster oven will crisp up the crust beautifully.
