Just Peachy Hand Pies Recipes

JUST PEACHY INDIVIDUAL HAND PIES

Steps:

• Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Combine cornstarch with 1/3 cup sugar; add to skillet. Stir in peaches, cinnamon and salt. Cook until mixture thickens and boils, about 25 minutes, stirring frequently. Boil for one minute; remove from heat and stir in lemon juice. Cool completely; set aside.
• Cut crusts into quarters; spoon 2 tablespoons filling into the center of each quarter, leaving 3/4-inch dough uncovered on each side. Fold dough over filling; press edges together to seal.
• Transfer pies to 2 ungreased baking sheets. Brush tops of pies with egg; sprinkle with remaining sugar. Cut a one-inch slit in the top of each pie.
• Bake at 425 degrees for 18 to 20 minutes until golden, rotating baking sheets between upper and lower racks halfway through baking. Remove to wire racks to cool.

PEACH HAND PIES

Steps:

• Combine the peaches, water, vanilla seeds and pod, granulated sugar, brown sugar, lemon juice and salt in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer and cook until syrupy and the peaches are soft and just beginning to break down, 12 to 18 minutes. (Add more water if the mixture is too thick.) Discard the vanilla pod and mash the peaches; let cool.
• Preheat the oven to 425˚ F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Gather the pie dough into 2 small compact squares; roll out each into a 12-inch square. Cut each in half, then cut each half into thirds to make twelve 4-by-6-inch rectangles.
• Arrange 6 rectangles on the baking sheet and top each with 3 tablespoons of the peach compote. Cover each with another rectangle of dough; crimp the edges with a fork to seal. Cut a small vent into the center of each top; brush with the beaten egg. Bake until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes.

JUST PEACHY BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease and flour two 9x5 inch loaf pans.
• Place peaches, peach juice and 6 tablespoons sugar in a blender; puree until smooth.
• In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. In a large bowl, cream together the shortening and 1 1/2 cups sugar. Stir in the eggs one at a time, beating well with each addition, then stir in the vanilla. Blend this mixture into the flour mixture, alternately with the peach puree; stir just to combine. Fold in the nuts. Pour batter into prepared pans.
• Bake at 325 degrees for 55 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a loaf comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes in pans; turn out on rack and let cool completely.

JUST PEACHY FREEZER OATMEAL CUPS

Steps:

• Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray.
• Combine evaporated milk and salt in a large pot over medium-high heat and bring to a rolling boil. Stir in oats, reduce heat to a low simmer, and cook, stirring frequently, until oats are tender and liquid is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in maple syrup, cinnamon, almonds, and peaches. Allow oatmeal to thicken for 5 minutes.
• Divide the oatmeal between the prepared muffin cups. Place muffin pan in the freezer until oatmeal is frozen solid, 8 hours to overnight. Pop out each frozen muffin disk and store in a freezer-safe, quart-sized bag.
• To serve place 1 or 2 frozen oatmeal disks in a bowl. Microwave on high power for 1 1/2 to 3 minutes stirring halfway through, or until oatmeal is hot.
