Ingredients
  

  • 1 Tablespoon butter
  • 1 Tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon white sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 1 Tablespoon fruit brandy aka peach or 1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional)
  • ½ Tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 cup diced peaches about 1 ½ -2 medium peaches
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 single pie crust commercial or your favorite recipe
  • 1 Tablespoon skim milk or other milk
  • 1-2 Tablespoons coarse sugar

Instructions
 

To prepare the filling:

  • Melt the butter in a small to medium sautee pan.
  • Add the sugar, cinnamon and brandy if using. Cook until bubbling.
  • Add the cornstarch, chopped peaches and vanilla. Cook until peaches are tender and everything is well combined.

To form the hand pies:

  • Roll out the pie crust if not already rolled.
  • Cut a 5-inch circle and place a generous spoonful of filling in the center.
  • Brush the outer edges of the crust with water then fold over and crimp to seal. You can use a hand pie maker like I show, or do it by hand, crimping with a fork.
  • Cut slits to allow steam to escape then brush with milk and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
  • Repeat with the remaining ingredients. Bake at 400 F until crust is golden and filling is bubbly, about 30 minutes.

Notes

Another option for forming the hand pies is as follows:
  • Cut two 4-inch dough circles. 
  • Place a spoonful of filling on one circle then brush the outer edges of the crust with water.
  • Top that circle with the remaining circle of dough and press to seal.  Crimp with a fork.
  • Cut slits to allow steam to escape then brush with milk and sprinkle with sugar.
