If you're looking for a delicious summer dessert that's easy to make and super flavorful, you've got to try these air-fried peach hand pies!

Ingredients 

  • 2 sheets pie dough, prepared
  • 1 tablespoon flour, for work surface
  • 1 teaspoon milk, beaten (egg wash)
  • 1 large egg , beaten (egg wash)

Peach Pie Filling:

  • 5 ripe peaches
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons corn starch
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • ¼ teaspoon almond extract
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon raw sugar, turbinado or demerara sugar for dusting – optional

Instructions

Prepare the filling -

  • Wash, rinse, and dry peaches thoroughly.
  • Peel skin from peaches and slice, removing pits. Dice into small cubes.
  • In medium bowl, gently combine peaches with sugar.
  • Cover and store for one hour to allow juices to release from peaches.
  • Drain juice from the peaches into a heavy-bottom saucepan and whisk in the cornstarch, cinnamon, and salt. Ensure mixture is well-combined.
  • Cook over medium-low heat until the mixture starts simmering.
  • Stir continuously and cook for two to three minutes – until mixture thickens into a syrup.
  • Stir in lemon juice, almond extract and vanilla extract and remove from heat.

Prepare the Air Fryer –

  • Preheat the Air Fryer to 350 degrees. Spray basket or tray with vegetable oil to prevent sticking.

Assemble the pies –

  • Remove the pie dough from the refrigerator.
  • Unroll pie dough on flat, lightly floured surface.
  • Cut pie dough once in half horizontally and once in half vertically.
  • Use a pastry brush to liberally coat pie dough in egg wash.
  • Scoop one to one and a half tablespoon of the homemade peach filling into one of the dough sections.
  • Fold one side over the other – making a pocket shape, and press ends together with a fork to seal.
  • Repeat this for each one of the dough sections.
  • Brush top of pies with egg wash using pastry brush, and place into air fryer basket (or onto tray).
  • Cook for 10 – 15 minutes in air fryer, turning once at the halfway mark, or until flaky and golden.
  • Remove from air fryer and sprinkle with raw, turbinado or demerara sugar.
  • Serve hot.

Storage:

  • Pies are best served on the day they are cooked, however, they can be stored covered, for up to 3 days.

Equipment

  • Cooking Spray
  • Parchment Paper, optional
