Peach Hand Pies
Enjoy the delicious taste of peach cobbler in a convenient hand pie. The peach cobbler hand pie recipe is fun and easy to make using refrigerated pie crusts. They're folded in half-moons, baked until golden, then drizzled with a powdered sugar glaze.
The hand pie filling is made with fresh peaches that are macerated in a combination of sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg for that classic cobbler taste. Traditional peach pies and cobblers often use cornstarch to thicken the filling when it's heated. These hand pies use a no-cook filling, which takes less time, but it also needs to be strained and as dry as possible when shaping the pies. To put that sweet juice to good use, a little is added to the glaze for extra flavor.
If you're not going to eat them right away, add the glaze up to a couple of hours before serving, so the pies stay crisp. They're perfect for a sweet snack or a light summer dessert.
