My favorite part of summer is all the stone fruits. I love peach pies and cobblers, and I really love roasted and grilled peaches. A Peach Half Pie is something you are going to love!
Peaches were on sale at the store, so I thought, why not combine roasted peaches and peach pie? Just take half a peach and cover it with crust. So that’s just what I did.
Couldn’t that be like a mini peach pie? All packaged up perfectly? Why the heck hadn’t I thought of this sooner? I even searched Pinterest and did not see a single thing like what I wanted.
I decided to experiment a little. When I make grilled peaches, I add a spoonful of brown sugar and butter and a shake or two of cinnamon. Before I covered them in crust, I added a spoonful of brown sugar, a spoonful of softened butter, and a couple shakes of cinnamon.
I had a package of refrigerated pie crust in the fridge about to go bad, so I rolled them out and cut 5 inch circles. My original plan was to just cover the top of each peach, but my pie crust circles were a little bigger. I ended up folding them over a little. I kind of like how they came out, but next time I make these delicious little treats I’m going to go for 3-inch circles and just to see how that works.
When you pull them out of the oven, the bottoms of the peaches are very tender, so I decided to pop them into little ramekins to serve. They were fantastic. Your own little encapsulated peach pie — tender, flaky, and juicy. And, they are literally a snap to make. This is my new favorite dessert!

Oh my goodness! I love peach pies! Your pictures made my tummy grumble. The half pie idea is great. Easy to follow recipe!
This is a brilliant idea. I love grilled peaches, but I’ve never thought to turn them into a half pie. Can’t wait to try this out.
Oh now this is an awesome way to use peaches. I really have to try this. Peaches are my fave!
Bet you could do that with apples
Coffee is on
These look so delicious! I can’t wait to try them, peaches are my favorite in the summer. My grandmother makes a cake batter peach cobbler that is absolutely to die for !
Those look so good. I love peach pie! I’ll have to give these a try. I love that they’re smaller too. Great size for a single serve piece.
