Description
A delightful summer treat featuring a flaky crust filled with sweet peaches and topped with a luscious glaze.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- 6–8 tbsp ice water
- 3 cups fresh peaches, peeled and chopped
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2–3 tbsp milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, salt, and sugar. Add chilled butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to incorporate it until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Ice Water Incorporation: Gradually mix in ice water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough holds together without being sticky. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Make the Filling: In a bowl, combine peach chunks, sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Let it sit for about 10-15 minutes.
- Roll Out the Dough: On a floured surface, roll out the dough to about ⅛-inch thickness. Cut into 5-inch circles using a pastry cutter.
- Fill the Hand Pies: Place a tablespoon of peach filling onto one half of each dough circle. Fold the dough over and crimp the edges with a fork to seal.
- Bake: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Arrange the hand pies on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
- Glaze: Whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Drizzle over warm pies before serving.
Notes
For best flavor, use ripe, local peaches. Consider adding chia seeds or flaxseed for added nutrition.
