• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

6. Place a spoonful of the peach filling in the center, leaving a border around the edges. Be careful not to overfill. 
7. Beat the egg and water to make an egg wash in a small dish. Brush the edges of the dough circles with the egg wash.
