Yield: 10
Store-bought pie dough and sweetened peaches are the perfect little summer hand pie.
Ingredients
- 2 cups peeled and diced peaches (about 4-5 peaches)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 - package of store-bought refrigerated pie crusts (or homemade if preferred) All-purpose flour (for dusting)
- Garnishing and assembling: 1 egg (for egg wash) 1 tablespoon water 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (for sprinkling)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the diced peaches, granulated sugar, lemon juice, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and cornstarch.
- Stir them to coat the peaches evenly.
- Let the mixture sit for around 15-20 minutes.
- Floured a board or surface, and roll out the pie crust thinly to about 1/8-inch thickness.
- Use a round cutter around 4 inches to make a circle cut out.
- Place a spoonful of the peach filling in the center, leaving a border around the edges. Be careful not to overfill.
- 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.
- Fold over the dough to make a half-moon shape.
- Press the edges firmly to seal. Crimp the edges for a decorative touch.
- Air Frying: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- Place them in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not touching each other.
- Air fry between 8- 11 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
- Flip them at the halfway mark of time.
- Cool slightly before adding anything on top for garnishing.
- While they're still warm, sprinkle the tops of the pies with granulated sugar for a little extra sweetness and a nice crunch.
- Filling is hot so cool a few minutes before serving.
- They can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature.
- Optional: Drizzle a simple glaze made from powdered sugar and a small amount of milk over the cooled hand pies for an extra touch of sweetness, sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar mixture, or powdered sugar
