Equipment

  • Rolling Pin
  • parchment paper
  • 4 inch round biscuit cutter
  • baking sheet pan
  • pastry brush
  • fork

Ingredients
  

For the Filling

  • 2 cans 15oz. each California Cling Peaches
  • 2 tsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp grated lemon zest
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice

For the Dough

  • 2 1/2 C all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp Kosher salt
  • 2 sticks cold unsalted butter cut into cubes
  • 1/2 C ice water

For the Topping

  • 1 large egg lightly beaten
  • Turbinado sugar mixed with ground cinnamon for sprinkling

Instructions
 

Step 1: Make the Dough

  • In a large bowl, whisk the flour with the salt. Scatter the butter over the flour.
  • Using your fingers, pinch the butter into the mixture until it resembles very coarse crumbs with some pieces the size of small peas.
  • Stir in the ice water just until dough forms. Turn the dough out on to a lightly floured work surface and knead gently to form a ball. Pat the ball into a 1 inch thick round, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for one hour.

Step 2: Make the Filling

  • Open both cans of peaches and drain 3/4 of the liquid. Pour the canned cling peaches into a medium size bowl and add the other filling ingredients. Gently fold together until combined.

Step 3: Preheat & Cut the Dough

  • Preheat your oven to 425 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Once the dough has chilled for one hour, remove it from the refrigerator, unwrap it from plastic and cut the round in half. On a lightly floured surface, using a lightly floured rolling pin, roll out one piece of the cut dough to 1/8 inch thick.
  • Using a 4 inch biscuit cutter, stamp out 6 rounds of dough and transfer to your parchment lined baking sheet. Top the cut rounds with another piece of parchment paper.
  • Gather the scraps of dough and form into a ball; roll that ball out again and stamp out 3 more rounds with your biscuit cutter. Transfer those cut rounds to the baking sheet. Repeat this process with the second half of your dough.
  • Once cut, refrigerate the cut rounds for 30 minutes covered with parchment.

Step 4: Fill and Bake

  • Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Working with one dough round at a time, brush the rim of the dough circle with the beaten egg. Spoon 2 teaspoons of the filling into the center of the dough round and fold in half to enclose- being careful to prevent any filling from spilling out. Lay the dough envelope flat and press the edge firmly with a fork to create a seal. Transfer to a prepared baking sheet.
  • Repeat this process with the remaining dough and filling. Arrange the hand pies 2 inches apart for baking. Brush the top of the hand pies with the beaten egg and sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  • Using a paring knife, cut two small slits in each hand pie.
  • Bake until puffed and golden brown. Cooking time is approximately 15 minutes. Transfer the hand pies to a rack and let cool slightly.

Notes

Serve warm or cool with ice cream or alone! Any leftover filling makes an
excellent topping!
