Sweet, juicy peaches with brown sugar and cinnamon all wrapped in a flaky pastry crust. Our baked peach hand pies are a quick and easy way to enjoy the delicious taste of peach pie with a fraction of the work.
Peel, remove pits, and cut peaches into ½ inch pieces.
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine peaches, sugars, butter and cinnamon until butter is melted. Cover and cook for 6-8 minutes until peaches reach desired softness.
In a small bowl, mix together 2 Tablespoons water and cornstarch, then add to saucepan. Stir and cover for an additional 1-2 minutes, until peach mixture starts to thicken. Remove from heat and set aside.
Preheat oven to 375℉.
Roll out both puff pastry sheets, and cut each sheet into six 3x6 inch rectangles. Evenly split the apple mixture down the middle of six of the rectangles. In the other six sheets, make 3-5 cuts in the puff pastry. Take each puff pastry sheet with peaches and top with a puff pastry sheet that has been cut. Press the seams together using the tines of a fork. Place the hand pies on a baking sheet.
In small bowl, mix together egg white and water. Brush over the top of each hand pie.
In a separate small bowl, mix together sugar and cinnamon, then sprinkle over the top of each pie.
Cook for 15-18 minutes, until pastry starts to brown. Serve warm.
Notes
These pastries freeze really well (if you have any leftover!). Once baked, let pastries cool and then place in a freezer-safe bag or container for up to 30 days.
