Ingredients:
- 2 boxes (14.1 oz each) refrigerated pie crust
- 1 can (21 oz) peach pie filling or apple pie filling
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 2 ½ cups powdered sugar
- ¼ cup milk
- 1 egg white, beaten
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 425°F. Allow the refrigerated pie crusts to come to room temperature while you prepare the filling.
- In a shallow bowl, dump the pie filling and dice the peaches or apples into small pieces using a fork and knife. Add cinnamon and mix until blended. Set aside.
- Unroll the pie crusts and cut 6 circles from each crust using a 4-inch biscuit cutter. You may need to re-roll the scraps to get the 6th circle.
- Using a 1 tbsp cookie scoop, drop the peach or apple pie filling into the center of each pie crust circle. Fold in half and pinch the edges completely. Fold pinched edges over and press with the tines of a fork to seal. Poke each hand pie with a fork once to prevent bursting.
- Beat the egg white in a small bowl until frothy. Brush it over the tops of each hand pie.
- Bake on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet (1 inch apart) for about 15 minutes or until browned.
- While the pies are baking, whisk together the powdered sugar and milk until smooth.
- Remove the cooked pies from the baking sheet and drop them (while warm) into the glaze, coating them completely. Use two forks to flip them in the glaze and remove them carefully.
- Return the glazed pies to parchment paper and allow them to set for about 5 minutes.
- ENJOY the crispy goodness of these Fried Apple or Peach Pies!
