Ingredients
Filling
- Fresh Peaches: 4 cups, peeled and diced
- Sugar: 1/2 cup
- Cinnamon: 1 tsp
- Nutmeg: 1/4 tsp
Crust
- Pie Crust: 2 pre-made or homemade
- Egg Wash: 1 egg beaten with 1 tbsp water
Frying
- Oil for Frying: enough to fill a deep skillet
Instructions
- Prepare the Peaches: Start by peeling and slicing the fresh peaches into small pieces. Combine them with sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook until the peaches soften and release their juices, then let cool.
- Roll Out the Dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pie crust until it’s about 1/8 inch thick. Use a round cutter to cut out circles, which will become the hand pies.
- Assemble the Hand Pies: Place a spoonful of the peach filling in the center of each circle. Fold the dough over to create a half-moon shape and crimp the edges with a fork to seal them well.
- Fry the Hand Pies: In a deep skillet or fryer, heat oil over medium heat. Fry each hand pie until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
- Glaze and Serve: For a finishing touch, mix powdered sugar with a splash of milk to create a glaze. Drizzle it over the warm hand pies before serving for a sweet touch.
Notes
- Chill the Dough: If the dough gets too warm while working, chill it briefly to maintain flakiness.
- Don’t Overfill: Use just enough filling to avoid bursting during frying.
- Use a Thermometer: Keep an eye on the oil temperature for perfectly fried pies.
- Experiment with Spices: Feel free to adjust spices according to your taste preferences for a unique flavor.
- Let Cool Before Serving: Allow your hand pies to cool slightly so the filling can set before enjoying.
