I thought these Peach Hand Pies had a wonderful peach flavor. I really did. So did my both of my kids. My son Josh said they have pies like this in school, but they hardly have any filling in them. He said that he liked these because they had lots of peach filling in them. And then later my husband Chris gave them a try. After eating a pie, he said it was good and then mentioned that I could use the apples from the apple tree in the backyard. I told him yes, but I had wanted to use up the ripe peaches we had. He gave me a funny look so I asked him, “You didn’t think that was an apple pie, did you?” Sure enough, he ate the whole hand pie and thought it was an apple pie!

I used refrigerated pie crust, but if you want to make your own crust you could use either this butter crust recipe or this shortening crust recipe. As far as the peaches I used, I was pretty sure I had bought yellow peaches but when I cut them open the flesh was white. I usually bake with yellow peaches, but I thought the white peaches were perfect in these pies. And I guess my husband thought they tasted like apples. . . .

ReplyDeleteYour peach hand pies look delicious. That is funny that your husband thought it was an apple hand pie. My husband would probably do the same thing.

ReplyDeleteThey look great Jill!
ReplyDeleteI love hand pies and agree with your son that most purchased have very little filling in them. So making them yourself is best so you can doctor them up with any type of filling you want filling them to almost explosion. Yours look beautiful and I'm sure taste great.
ReplyDeleteThese hand pies have my name written all over :D
ReplyDeleteYum!

I think it's so funny that you're husband thought this was an apple pie! But either way, this peach pie is fantastic. And it looks so perfectly made! Can't wait to give this a try :)
ReplyDeleteComo empanadillas dulce...they look delicious...
ReplyDeleteI wonder if the white peaches look a little like cooked apples; and maybe the appearance deceived Chris into thinking they were apple pies (I'm looking at the photo...your photos always look so fabulous!) Either way, these pies look so appetizing; and I think they'd be great for a quick breakfast on the go!
ReplyDeleteI think you are probably right Bonnie! The white peaches did make it look different and more like apple. And the mind is a powerful thing. I once drank a Dr. Pepper thinking it was Coke. My mind thought that is what it was, and I could have sworn I was drinking Coke!
DeleteThese are perfect! And such a great size. Perfect for indulgence :)
