Fried Apple or Peach Pies

Dive into the world of homemade Fried Peach Pies with our easy, delicious recipe. Perfect for any occasion – Don’t miss out on this delightful treat!

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 12 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boxes (14.1 oz each) refrigerated pie crust
  • 1 can (21 oz) peach pie filling (or apple, if preferred)
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 2 ½ cups powdered sugar
  • ¼ cup milk
  • 1 egg white, beaten

Instructions

  1. Preheating the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to a cozy 425°F. This ensures a perfect baking environment for your pies.
  2. Preparing the Filling: Take the peach pie filling and pour it into a shallow bowl. Using a fork and knife, gently dice the peaches into small, bite-sized pieces. This size is crucial for the perfect filling-to-crust ratio. Sprinkle in the cinnamon and mix it thoroughly for that extra zing of flavor.
  3. Pie Crust Circles: Unroll your pie crusts onto a flat surface. With your biscuit cutter, cut out six circles from each crust. Don’t worry about any scraps; simply re-roll them to get that sixth perfect circle.
  4. Assembling the Pies: Now, the fun part! Place a tablespoon of your peach filling in the center of each pie crust circle. Fold the crust in half, pressing the edges to seal them. For an extra secure seal, fold the edges over and press them with a fork.
  5. Egg Wash for That Golden Touch: In a small bowl, beat the egg white until frothy. Lightly brush this over the tops of your pies. This will give them a beautiful golden color and a delightful crispness.
  6. Baking to Perfection: Place your pies on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spaced about an inch apart. Bake them for about 15 minutes or until they achieve a lovely browned appearance.
  7. The Glaze: While your pies are baking, let’s prepare the glaze. Whisk together powdered sugar and milk until smooth. This glaze will add a sweet, creamy finish to your pies.
  8. Final Touches: Once baked, take your pies and dip them into the glaze while they’re still warm. Use two forks to ensure an even coating. Let them rest on parchment paper for about 5 minutes to set.

Notes

  • Feel free to use apple pie filling for a classic apple pie taste.
  • Add a pinch of nutmeg or allspice to the filling for an autumnal twist.
  • For a dairy-free version, use a dairy-free milk alternative in the glaze.
