Delicious Peach Hand Pies made with freshly picked peaches and pre-made pie crust.
We love heading to our local pick-your-own farms to pick some fresh peaches every summer. Besides just enjoying the fresh peaches as is, I love to bake with them. These Peach Hand Pies are super simple and full of flavor.
We love hand pies because they’re a little portable snack almost. A little piece of heaven you can hold right in your hand! You need to definitely try my apple hand pies and pop tart recipe if you love hand pies.

Step 7: Top with one of your circles.

I don’t have fresh peaches. What else can I use?
Sadly, fresh peaches aren’t a year round thing. But, you can use either a 21oz can of peach pie filling or 8 oz frozen peaches (thawed and drained).
Can I Freeze My Peach Hand Pies?
Yes!!! Just allow them to cool completely before freezing. Freeze flat in a freezer safe, air tight bag.

Do you grease the baking sheet??

Answering my own question, since I was minutes from putting them in the oven when I posted: I did NOT grease the baking sheet & they came out just fine. The fat in the dough is enough to keep them from sticking!
