Ingredients
- 1 Tablespoon butter
- 1 Tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 Tablespoon white sugar
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 Tablespoon fruit brandy aka peach or 1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional)
- ½ Tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 cup diced peaches about 1 ½ -2 medium peaches
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla
- 1 Single Pie Crust commercial or your favorite recipe
- 1 Tablespoon skim milk or other milk
- 1-2 Tablespoons coarse sugar
Instructions
To prepare the filling:
- Melt the butter in a small to medium sautee pan.
- Add the sugar, cinnamon and brandy if using. Cook until bubbling.
- Add the cornstarch, chopped peaches and vanilla. Cook until peaches are tender and everything is well combined.
Cup of Yum
To form the hand pies:
- Roll out the pie crust if not already rolled.
- Cut a 5-inch circle and place a generous spoonful of filling in the center.
- Brush the outer edges of the crust with water then fold over and crimp to seal. You can use a hand pie maker like I show, or do it by hand, crimping with a fork.
- Cut slits to allow steam to escape then brush with milk and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
- Repeat with the remaining ingredients. Bake at 400 F until crust is golden and filling is bubbly, about 30 minutes.
Notes
- Another option for forming the hand pies is as follows:
- Cut two 4-inch dough circles.
- Place a spoonful of filling on one circle then brush the outer edges of the crust with water.
- Top that circle with the remaining circle of dough and press to seal. Crimp with a fork.
- Cut slits to allow steam to escape then brush with milk and sprinkle with sugar.
