Equipment

1 baking sheet
1 pan
1 Bowl

Ingredients

1 package pie crust
16 oz frozen peaches or use 21 oz can of peach pie filling and skip making your own
2 tbsp butter
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp cornstarch
1 sprinkle cinnamon and sugar

Instructions

Baked Hand Pies - Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Prep a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. Remove the pie crust from the fridge to thaw to room temperature.
** If using a can of pie filling you can skip making your own and skip to the egg wash step.
In a saucepan, add the peaches and butter. Warm on medium heat until the peaches begin to soften and release juices. Add in the brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice and salt. Mix together until combined and the peaches are soft. Cook for about 10-15 minutes.
Use a fork to mash any large chunks left of the peaches, leaving some consistency of peach chunks throughout the juicy mixture. To thicken this sauce, add the cornstarch. Stir together until combined and then remove from the heat.
Let sit for a couple minutes to cool and thicken. On a clean and floured surface, roll out the pie crust dough. Use a large circular cookie cutter (3.5 inch) to cut out circles in the pie dough. Repeat with the second dough slab in the package. Take any scraps and reroll into a dough ball and roll out to cut out more circles.
Place these circles on the baking sheet. Fill the center of each circle with a large tablespoon of peach filling. Use egg wash to baste around the edges of the dough. Place another circle piece of dough on top of the filling and use a fork to seal the edges.
Place 4 slits in the center of the hand pie. Repeat until all hand pies are made. Brush each pie with egg wash and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar and sanding sugar too if you like.
Bake in the oven for 15 minutes until golden brown. While those bake, make the glaze in a separate bowl. Add 1 cup powdered sugar, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 1/2 tsp vanilla and 1 tbsp milk all at once.
Air Fryer Peach Hand Pies - Preheat air fryer to 350 degrees for 5 minutes. Follow instructions as described above. Spray basket with non stick spray. Set inside without overlapping. Brush the tops with your egg wash in a small bowl and sanding or granulated sugar for added sweet. Air fry for 10-12 minutes or until they are golden brown on the top
Whisk together until combined and a smooth glaze is formed. Remove the hand pies from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes. Drizzle the glaze over each hand pie. Enjoy!

Notes

Made with Pie Filling

You would skip the whole processing the filling part above and just open the can. I would suggest slicing the large pieces in the can into smaller bite size pieces.
