Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups fresh peaches, peeled and diced
  • 1/4 cup raw honey
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamo
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 rolls pie crust (homemade or store-bought)
  • 1 large egg (for egg wash)
  • 2 tablespoons coarse sanding sugar

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the diced peaches, honey, cornstarch, lemon juice, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Stir gently to avoid mashing the fruit.
  3. Roll out your pie dough on a lightly floured surface and use a 4-inch or 5-inch round cutter to create circles from the dough.
  4. Place about two tablespoons of the peach mixture onto one half of each dough circle. Fold the other half over the filling to create a half-moon shape and crimp the edges with a fork.
  5. Place the assembled hand pies onto the prepared baking sheets. Cut a small slit in the top of each pie to allow steam to escape.
  6. Whisk the egg with a teaspoon of water and brush it over the top of each hand pie. Sprinkle with coarse sugar.
  7. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes until the crust is golden and the filling bubbles slightly. Let cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Keep ingredients cold for a flaky crust. Use ripe peaches for the best flavor. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days or refrigerate for up to five days.
