Ingredients

2 cups peaches, peeled and diced

1/3 cup granulated sugar

2 tablespoons brown sugar

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1 tablespoon cornstarch

2 tablespoons water

1 tablespoon unsalted butter

2 refrigerated pie crusts

1 egg

1 tablespoon water

vegetable oil for frying

powdered sugar for dusting


Instructions

1. Add the peaches, granulated sugar, brown sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg to a saucepan over medium heat. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring often, until the peaches soften.

2. Stir together the cornstarch and 2 tablespoons water in a small bowl. Add the slurry to the peach mixture and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until thickened. Stir in the butter and let the filling cool completely.

3. Roll out the pie crusts and cut into 4 to 5 inch circles.

4. Whisk the egg with 1 tablespoon water. Spoon a small amount of cooled filling into the center of each dough circle. Brush the edges with egg wash, fold over, and crimp with a fork to seal.

5. Chill the assembled pies for 15 to 20 minutes.

6. Heat 2 to 3 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot to 350°F.

7. Fry the pies in batches for 2 to 3 minutes per side until golden brown and crisp.

8. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate or wire rack.

9. Dust with powdered sugar and serve warm.

Notes

Let the filling cool fully before adding it to the dough so the crust stays easier to seal.

Do not overfill the pies or they may burst open while frying.

Keep the oil close to 350°F so the pies cook evenly and stay crisp instead of greasy.
