Delightful handheld dessert bursting with juicy peaches wrapped in a flaky pastry crust.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
  • 68 tablespoons ice water
  • 4 cups fresh peaches, peeled and diced
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • 1 tablespoon coarse sugar (for sprinkling)

Instructions

  1. Create the Flaky Pastry Dough: In a large bowl, mix the flour, salt, and sugar. Cut in the chilled butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  2. Bring the Dough Together: Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. Divide the dough into two discs, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 60 minutes.
  3. Prepare the Peach Filling: Combine the diced peaches, sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, and vanilla extract in a medium bowl. Stir gently and let sit for 15 minutes.
  4. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  5. Roll Out the Dough: Roll one disc of dough to about 1/8 inch thick and cut out 5-inch circles.
  6. Fill the Hand Pies: Place a tablespoon of peach filling in the center of each circle. Fold over to create a half-moon and crimp the edges to seal.
  7. Brush and Sprinkle: Brush the tops with beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
  8. Bake to Perfection: Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and bubbly. Let cool slightly before serving.
