• 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

For the Glaze:

• 2–3 tablespoons milk

• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
   Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Prepare the Filling:
   If using canned peach pie filling, chop the peaches into small bite-sized pieces to make them easier to fill. If making homemade, be sure your filling is fully cooled.

3. Cut and Fill:
   Roll out the pie crusts on a lightly floured surface. Use a round cutter (about 4–5 inches in diameter) to cut circles. Place 1 to 1½ tablespoons of peach filling in the center of each circle.

4. Seal the Pies:
   Brush the edges of each circle with a bit of water. Fold the dough over the filling to form a half-moon shape. Press the edges with a fork to seal tightly.

5. Brush and Bake:
   Transfer the hand pies to the baking sheet. Brush each one with beaten egg for a shiny finish. If desired, sprinkle lightly with sugar. Bake for 18–22 minutes or until golden brown.

6. Prepare the Glaze:
   In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and pourable.

7. Glaze the Hand Pies:
   Let the baked pies cool slightly, then dip or drizzle each one generously with the glaze. Place on a wire rack to set.

Closing:
These Peach Cobbler Donut Hand Pies are warm, gooey, and sweet with just the right amount of flaky crispness. Whether served warm or at room temperature, they’re guaranteed to be a hit at your next get-together or simply as a treat-yourself moment.

Enjoy!
