Ingredients
Units
Scale
- For the filling:
- 2 cups fresh peaches, peeled and diced
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- For the hand pies:
- 1 package refrigerated pie crusts (2 crusts)
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- For the glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp milk
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, combine peaches, sugar, cinnamon, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla. Stir until thickened (about 5–7 minutes). Let cool slightly.
- Roll out pie crusts and use a round cutter (about 4–5 inches) to cut out circles.
- Place 1 tbsp of filling in the center of each circle. Fold over to make a half-moon shape and press edges with a fork to seal.
- Place hand pies on the prepared baking sheet. Brush tops with egg wash.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool on a wire rack.
- In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Drizzle or dip cooled hand pies in glaze. Let set before serving.
Notes
- Substitute frozen peaches if fresh are unavailable—just thaw and drain excess liquid.
- Use puff pastry instead of pie crust for an extra flaky texture.
- Try different fruits like apples, cherries, or berries for variety.
