Peach Hand Pies

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Peach Hand Pies.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 425°F (220°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with a silicone baking mat—this will help your hand pies bake evenly and prevent sticking.

2. Step 2

   In a mixing bowl, combine your luscious peach pie filling with a sprinkle of ground cinnamon, stirring until everything is beautifully blended.

3. Step 3

   For a delightful texture, grab some kitchen shears and chop the peaches into smaller pieces; this will make filling the pies a breeze.

4. Step 4

   Next, pour about 1/4 cup of water into a small bowl—this will be your secret weapon for sealing the edges of the pies.

5. Step 5

   Roll out your first pie crust and use a 4-inch biscuit cutter to create seven rounds.

6. Step 6

   Don’t worry if you need to re-roll the dough to get all the rounds; that’s all part of the fun! Now, take about 1/2 tablespoon of the peach filling and place it right in the center of each round.

7. Step 7

   Wet your fingertip with the water and gently run it around the edge of the dough.

8. Step 8

   This little trick will help the dough stick together when you fold it over the filling to form a charming half-moon shape.

9. Step 9

   Press the edges firmly to seal, and for an extra touch of flair, use a fork to crimp the edges.

10. Step 10

    Once all your hand pies are assembled, arrange them on the lined baking sheet and repeat the process with any remaining dough and filling—don’t worry if you have a bit of filling left; it’s perfect for a little taste test! Pop the baking sheet into your preheated oven and let the hand pies bake for about 12 to 15 minutes, or until they turn a gorgeous golden brown and become delightfully crisp.

11. Step 11

    While they’re baking, whip up a simple glaze by whisking together sifted powdered sugar and milk until it’s smooth and creamy.

12. Step 12

    If you find the glaze too thick, just add a splash more milk to reach your desired consistency.

13. Step 13

    Once the hand pies are out of the oven and have cooled slightly, you can dip the tops into the glaze or even submerge the whole pie for a sweet finish—just flip them gently with a fork.

14. Step 14

    Place the glazed pies on parchment paper or a silicone mat to cool and let the glaze set.

15. Step 15

    Repeat this delightful process with all your hand pies, and soon you’ll have a batch of irresistible treats ready to enjoy!.
