Steps:
- Peel, remove pits, and cut peaches into 1/2-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 degrees.
- 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.

MINI PEACH HAND PIES
Adorable hand pies filled with a sweet cinnamon-kissed peach pie filling. These are glazed when warm and remind me of a tastier version of the little individually wrapped glazed fruit pies you could buy at the grocery store. You can certainly change up the pie filling for your favorite flavor.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat (such as Silpat®).
- Pour pie filling into a bowl and stir in cinnamon until evenly blended in. Use kitchen shears to chop the peaches into small pieces.
- Pour 1/4 cup water in a small bowl--you will use this to wet your finger and gently wet the very outer edges of the pie rounds before sealing.
- Lay out your first pie crust round. Use a 4-inch biscuit cutter to cut out 7 rounds; you can get about 5 out with your first pass, and then will need to gently press the dough together and roll it out again to the get the last 2 or 3 depending on how thin you roll out the dough.
- Place about 1/2 tablespoon peach filling in the center of each round. Wet your fingertip and run it around the very outside edge of the dough round before you fold the pie crust in half, over the top of the filling. Gently press along the seam, and then use the tines of a fork to press all the way around to help seal the pie.
- Place the prepared pies on the lined baking sheet, and repeat with all remaining dough and filling--you may have some filling leftover, depending on how full you are able to fill the pies.
- Bake in the preheated oven until pies are golden brown and lightly crisped, 12 to 15 minutes.
- Once you have removed the pies from the oven, create glaze. Whisk together sifted powdered sugar and milk until smooth. The glaze should be fairly thin.
- Gently dip either just the tops of the warm pies, or submerse the whole pie into the glaze, flipping gently with a fork, and then setting on parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to cool and dry. Repeat with all pies. If you dip the full pies, you may need a little extra glaze at the end, but this should be enough to lightly coat them all.

Tips:
- Use ripe peaches: This will ensure that your hand pies are juicy and flavorful. If your peaches are not ripe, you can ripen them by placing them in a paper bag at room temperature for a few days.
- Peel the peaches: This is not necessary, but it will make your hand pies easier to eat. If you choose to peel the peaches, use a sharp knife to remove the skin.
- Slice the peaches thinly: This will help them cook evenly. If you slice the peaches too thickly, they may not cook all the way through.
- Use a variety of spices: This will add flavor and depth to your hand pies. Some good spices to use include cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and allspice.
- Don't overfill the hand pies: If you overfill them, they will be difficult to seal and may burst open during baking.
- Bake the hand pies until the crust is golden brown: This will ensure that they are cooked all the way through.
Conclusion:
Peach hand pies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They can be served warm or cold, and they are always a hit with friends and family. So next time you have some ripe peaches, be sure to give this recipe a try!
