Mini Basil Peach Pies

INGREDIENTS:
4 Frozen mini pie pastries
2 Fresh peaches, each sliced to 8-10 pieces
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
3 basil leaves, torn or sliced into small pieces
1/4 teaspoon lemon zest
1/8 teaspoon coarse salt
1/4 cup sliced almonds
2 Tablespoons butter, melted
Cinnamon sugar

DIRECTIONS:
1 - Take mini pie crusts from freezer to thaw as directed and preheat oven to 350 degrees
2 - Mix together the peaches, sugar, basil leaves, lemon zest, salt and almonds
3 - Brush each pastry with melted butter and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar
4 - Fill each pastry with the peach mixture
5 - Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes or until pie crusts are golden brown

THOUGHTS:
This was a very delicious different sort of dessert.  I'm still trying to figure out what "savory" really means, but I think this qualifies.
