Description
Peach Hand Pies—flaky, golden pastry filled with sweet, juicy peaches. A portable, irresistible summer dessert perfect for picnics or snacking!
Ingredients
▢14.1 ounce refrigerated package pie crust, (2 crusts) or double my homemade pie crust recipe
▢1/2 can (21 ounce) peach pie filling, (or double the recipe and use the entire can)
▢6 teaspoons brown sugar
▢1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
▢1 large egg + splash of water
▢water
▢3 teaspoons turbinado sugar
Instructions
Remove pie crusts from packaging and allow to come to room temperature, per package instructions.
Cut the pie crusts into 5-inch circles using a cookie cutter.
Place two slices of peaches from the peach pie filling onto the pie crusts on the bottom half of the crust. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of brown sugar and a pinch of cinnamon over the filling.
With a little water on the tip of your finger, moisten the outside edges of the pie crust. Fold dough over filling to form half-moons; pinch the edges of the crust together, then crimp edges with a fork to seal.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg with a splash of water. Brush the pies with the egg wash all over the tops.
Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon of the coarse turbinado sugar over each pie.
Make three slits in the crust on the top of the pies.
Preheat the air fryer at 350 degrees F for 5 minutes. Spray the air fryer basket with nonstick cooking spray.
Place 3 pies in the basket at a time and air fry for about 8 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and filling is bubbling. Carefully remove and transfer to a wire rack to cool. Repeat with remaining pies. (If your air fryer basket is large, you can cook more than 3 at a time as long as they are not touching at all.)
Allow to cool a bit and enjoy!
OPTIONAL ICING: Whisk together 1 & 1/2 cups powdered sugar, 1 to 2 tablespoons milk, a splash of vanilla, and a pinch of salt to make a glaze (adding more powdered sugar or milk to get a thick, but drizzling consistency.) Once pies are completely cool, drizzle on top.
Notes
Bake in the oven instead. Follow the directions, but instead of placing them in an air fryer, simply place on a parchment lined baking sheet. Bake in a 400 degree F preheated oven for about 20 minutes or until golden brown and filling is bubbling. (Start checking halfway through to make sure they’re not browning too fast.) Let cool for at least 15 minutes before serving.
