Honey-Spiced Peach Bites - The Most Delicious Appetizers!
Here’s why I love canning and why I am such a big advocate for it:
You get to enjoy the bountiful harvests of summer, like peaches and strawberries, in the winter! Or delicious winter fruits, like apples and pears, in the summer.
When preserving these seasonal foods, you can enjoy them year-round!
During the summer, we harvested some lovely, juicy peaches, and I got to make one of my favorite canning recipes - Honey Spiced Peaches. I knew this delicious recipe would serve us well for many months to come.
So, when I was planning our menus for upcoming holiday family meals and dinners, I knew I wanted to make something delicious with my preserved honey-spiced peaches. I want my loved ones to indulge in them, too!
And so these yummy, appetizing, honey-spiced peach bites came to be!

These honey-spiced peach bites make for the perfect bite-sized holiday appetizer or afternoon snack with tea.
Honey-spiced peaches, cinnamon, and fresh thyme create the most delicious balance of sweet and aromatic tastes in your mouth. Baking them in the oven caramelizes them beautifully!
This recipe makes approximately 20 bites.

INGREDIENTS:
1 jar of canned peaches
1 pie crust dough (homemade or store-bought). Scroll down for my homemade recipe!
1/2 cup apricot preserves
1 Tbs turbinado sugar
1 Tbs cinnamon
1 tbs corn starch
3-4 sprigs of fresh thyme
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 350 F.
Roll out your pie dough into a large circle, and use a canning ring to cut out circles. I used a regular-mouth canning ring to make these small bites.
Place them on parchment paper.
Open a jar of canned peaches and drain the liquid. (Use the liquid served over oatmeal, yogurt, or ice cream ‘cause it's so yummy!)
Cut the peach slices into smaller pieces.
Toss the cut peach slices with cornstarch and a pinch of cinnamon.
Put a small dollop of the peach mix in the center of each pie circle.
Brush the pie crust with egg wash (or a mixture of 1 tbs maple syrup with almond milk.)
Bake for about 25 minutes, or until the crust is cooked through and golden.
Heat apricot preserves in a small pot until melted.
Brush apricot preserves over the peach bites.
Let cool for about 5 minutes.
Sprinkle fresh thyme and turbinado sugar over the bites.
Serve and enjoy!
These bites will stay fresh in the fridge for a few days, stored between sheets of parchment paper.
You can also choose to make a large galette instead of mini bites.
You can simply roll out one large pie circle, place the peach mix in the middle, fold the sides over like a galette, and bake. Brush with preserves and slice before serving.
Here’s another delicious galette you can try:
