Ingredients
  

Pie Crust
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter cold and cubed
  • 6 tablespoons ice water
Filling
  • 3 cups fresh peaches peeled and diced
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon optional
Topping
  • 1 egg egg beaten for egg wash
  • 1 tablespoon sugar for sprinkling

Method
 

Make the Pie Crust
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Add cold butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in ice water, a tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together. Divide into two discs, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Prepare the Filling
  1. In a bowl, combine diced peaches, sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, and cinnamon. Mix well and set aside.
Assemble the Hand Pies
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out one disc of dough on a floured surface to about 1/8 inch thick. Cut into circles using a cookie cutter or a cup.
  2. Place a tablespoon of peach filling in the center of each circle. Fold the dough over to create a half-moon shape and seal the edges by crimping with a fork.
  3. Place the hand pies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  4. Brush the tops with beaten egg and sprinkle with sugar.
Bake
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
