Description
Delightful hand pies filled with juicy peaches and warm spices, wrapped in a flaky crust, perfect for summer gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- 1/4 cup sugar (plus more for sprinkling)
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp nutmeg
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1/4 cup ice water
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, mix flour, sugar, and salt. Add cubed butter, rubbing it into flour until it resembles coarse crumbs. Add ice water gradually until dough forms. Divide, shape into disks, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 60 minutes.
- Make the Filling: In a bowl, mix peaches with sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Let sit to meld flavors.
- Roll Out the Dough: Dust surface with flour and roll out one disk to 1/8 inch thick. Cut out circles about 5-6 inches in diameter.
- Assemble the Pies: Place a spoonful of filling on each circle, moisten edges, fold over, and crimp edges with a fork.
- Bake: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place pies on parchment-lined baking sheet, cut steam vents, brush with egg wash, and sprinkle with sugar. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
- Cool and Enjoy: Let pies cool on a wire rack before serving.
Notes
Make sure to chill the butter and dough for a flaky texture. Do not overfill the pies to prevent oozing.
