Peach Hand Pies

I used to make these pies when I sold at the farmer’s market and they were always a huge hit. These are so good and easy to make. I use a store bought crust, I feel they are easier to work with for these hand pies. The filling is just perfect to me. I use just brown sugar, I think it adds to the richness and flavor of these pies.

A few tips about these hand pies. First make sure to brush a good egg wash on the edge of the crusts. This helps to hold the crusts together. Also make sure not to use more than 2 tbsp of filling. Too much filling will cause the pies to burst. Make sure you don’t forget to the add the slit to the top. This is need for the filling to ventilate.

These pies are perfect for a snack or party. You can definitely eat them by themselves or serve them with ice cream.
