Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 6–8 tbsp ice water
  • 2 cups diced fresh or canned peaches (drained)
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of cinnamon (optional)
  • Oil for frying (vegetable or canola)
  • 1 egg (for sealing)
  • Powdered sugar or vanilla glaze for topping

Instructions

  1. Combine flour, sugar, and salt. Cut in the cold butter until crumbly. Add ice water slowly, mixing just until the dough comes together.
  2. Wrap the dough in plastic and chill for 30 minutes. Roll out on a floured surface and cut into 4-5 inch circles.
  3. In a saucepan, combine peaches, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, vanilla, and cinnamon. Cook over medium heat until thickened.
  4. Spoon the cooled peach filling into the center of each dough circle. Fold over into a half-moon, press edges with a fork, and brush edges with egg.
  5. Heat oil to 350°F (175°C). Fry hand pies until golden and crispy, about 2–3 minutes per side. Drain and top with powdered sugar or a drizzle of vanilla glaze.

Notes

  • Use cold butter for flaky crust.
  • Drain canned peaches well to avoid soggy filling.
  • Adjust sugar based on peach sweetness.
