Air Fryer Peach Hand Pies
PIE INGREDIENTS
2 large fresh peaches, diced (substitute with 2 cups diced canned or frozen)
1 tablespoon fresh squeezed lemon juice
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/4 teaspoon cornstarch
2 refrigerated unbaked pie crusts
1 cup powdered sugar
ICING
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup milk
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Remove pie crust from refrigerator and allow to come to room temperature while preparing filling.
2. Combine diced peaches, sugar, vanilla, and lemon juice in a medium bowl.
3. Set aside for approximately 10 minutes to allow juice to form.
4. Drain the peaches, reserving 1 tablespoon of the juice. Using a whisk, mix the cornstarch into 1 tablespoon juice until smooth.
5. Add juice mixture into the peaches and stir lightly
6. Unroll each pie crust onto a lightly floured surface. Using a 5 inch plate as a template, cut around a plate with a sharp knife to produce a pie crust circle. Continue cutting and re-rolling crust when necessary until pie dough is all used. You should be able to get about 7-8 circles from the 2 crusts
7. Place a heaping tablespoon of filling in the center of each crust. Brush edges of crusts with water and fold the dough over to form a half circle. Using a fork, crimp the edges of the half circle.
8. Using a sharp knife, cut three small slits into the top of each pie to allow steam to escape.
9. Spray the tops of each pie with a non-stick cooking spray. Also, spray the basket of your air fryer with the spray.
10. Place pies in the basket (cook as many at a time as will fit without touching) and cook at 350 for 13-15 minutes
11. While pies are cooking, make the icing. Combine the powdered sugar and vanilla . Add enough of the milk to form a drizzle-thin consistency.
12. Remove pies from the fryer, cool and drizzle with the incing. If you prefer, you can sprinkle with sugar instead.
