These cozy bourbon peach hand pies feature a flaky cinnamon sugar crust and a warm, bourbon-infused peach filling, perfect for comforting gatherings or a sweet treat any time.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large fresh peaches, peeled and diced (or thawed frozen peaches, drained)
  • 2 tablespoons bourbon
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (plus extra for sprinkling)
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 sheets store-bought or homemade pie dough
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted (or coconut oil for dairy-free)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar mixed with 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for topping)
  • 1 large egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water (egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine diced peaches, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cornstarch, ground cinnamon, bourbon, and a pinch of salt. Stir gently and let sit for 10 minutes to macerate and thicken.
  3. Roll out pie crust sheets on a lightly floured surface to about 1/8 inch thickness if needed. Cut out 8-10 circles using a 4-5 inch round cutter or knife.
  4. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of peach filling onto the center of half the dough circles, leaving a 1/2 inch border around edges.
  5. Brush edges of dough circles with water or egg wash, then place another dough circle on top. Press edges with fingers and crimp with a fork to seal.
  6. Brush tops of pies with egg wash and immediately sprinkle cinnamon sugar mixture on top.
  7. Place pies on baking sheet and bake for 22-25 minutes until crust is golden and filling bubbles gently.
  8. Transfer pies to a cooling rack and cool for at least 15 minutes before serving.

Notes

Do not overfill pies to prevent leaking. Keep dough cold for flakier crust. Brush edges with egg wash or water to seal. If pies brown too quickly, tent with foil halfway through baking. Frozen peaches can be used if thawed and drained well. For dairy-free, substitute butter with coconut oil and use dairy-free crust. Gluten-free crusts can be used but handle gently.
