Step 1

Cut a shallow ‘x’ slit on the bottom of the peach. This will make peeling the peaches easier after blanching.

Step 2

Bring a large pot of water to a boil, using enough water to submerge the peaches.

Step 3

Once boiling carefully place peaches into water for 40 seconds up to 1 minute. The amount of times depends on the size of the peaches.

Step 4

Transfer peaches to a bowl of ice water and let soak until peaches have cooled down.

Step 5

Once cooled, peel the peach skin off starting where you made the ‘x’ slit. The skin should easily peel off.

Step 6

Dice the peaches into medium sized pieces and transfer to a medium sized sauce pan.

Step 7

On the stove top, over medium heat add both sugars, nutmeg and cinnamon to the diced peaches. Stir and let come to a simmer.

Step 8

Once peaches are soft and have released some liquid add in the cornstarch, and stir until fully incorporated. Let simmer until the filling thickens.

Step 9

Remove from heat and let cool for about 30 minutes.

Step 10

Place the oven rack in the middle of the oven. Preheat to 425°F.

Step 11

While the filling is cooling, prepare the pie dough by letting it soften for about 15 minutes and then carefully rolling it out.

Step 12

Cut the dough into 5 inch circles. To get 14 circles of dough, I gathered the excess dough pieces, and rolled out the dough again. I did this twice.

Step 13

Scoop about ½ Tbsp of filling* on a dough circle and carefully fold the dough over the filling to create a half circle. Crimp the edges with a fork to seal the hand pie.

Step 14

Prick dough with a fork to create holes, or use a knife to create slits*.

Step 15

Create an egg wash by beating together 1 large egg and about 2 Tbsp of water. Brush the tops of the hand pies with the egg wash and place on a parchment lined baking sheet.

Step 16

Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.

Step 17

Let the hand pies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to completely cool.

Step 18

While the hand pies are cooling, prepare the glaze in a small bowl. Whisk together the powdered sugar, maple syrup, maple extract, milk and a pinch of salt until fully combined.

Step 19

Spoon glaze over hand pies and let set for about 10 minutes before serving.
