You're probably wondering how little peach pies can be part of Thrifty Thursday. I'll tell you how. It's really quite simple, actually.You have to learn to save.

When you use a pie crust for a pie or pastry, don't throw the scraps away. Freeze them. When you make a crumble topping for a dessert, don't throw the extra topping away. Add it to a plastic container that you keep in the freezer. It won't matter if the crumble toppings are all different. Save them in the same container.

And, if you can find them, buy these wonderful little pot pie pans. I was lucky and found them on clearance dirt cheap. You can make pot pies in them, but you can also make little peach pies, or little blueberry pies, or ...... use your imagination.

It just so happens that I had just enough pie dough in the freezer to fill one of these little pans. And some crumble topping that I'd been saving, also in the freezer. And some fresh peaches. One pie was plenty for hubby and me. We each had half. And no leftovers! You can double or triple the recipe to make more pies, but it was nice making one itty bitty pie just for the two of us..JPG)

Judy-- what a perfect idea. I can only imagine how delicious these mini pies are.

Pies look really yummy.. I wish I could have it right now. :)
Oh the crunch from the crumbs, the sweetness from peaches and vanilla ice cream are killing me. I want some!
Peaches - one of my favorites, especially Georgia peaches.
Sounds yummy Penny.
