Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups diced fresh peaches
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 package refrigerated pie crusts
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • Raw or coarse sugar for sprinkling

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the diced peaches, lemon juice, granulated sugar, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and salt. Stir to combine.
  • Cook the peach mixture for 5 to 7 minutes or until the fruit softens and the mixture thickens slightly. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Let the filling cool completely.
  • On a clean lightly floured surface, roll out the pie crusts slightly to even out the thickness. Use a round biscuit cutter or small bowl to cut out 4 to 5 inch circles. Re-roll scraps to make more rounds as needed.
  • Place 1 to 2 tablespoons of the peach filling in the center of each dough circle. Fold the dough over to create a half-moon shape.
  • Press the edges with a fork to seal tightly, then transfer the pies to the prepared baking sheet.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk. Use a pastry brush to lightly brush the tops of the pies with the egg wash.
  • Sprinkle lightly with coarse sugar and cut a small vent in the top of each pie with a sharp knife.
  • Bake for 22 to 25 minutes or until the hand pies are golden brown and bubbly.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
