Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
  • 68 tablespoons ice water
  • 4 cups fresh peaches, peeled and diced
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • 1 tablespoon coarse sugar (for sprinkling)

Instructions

  1. Mix the flour, salt, and sugar together in a large bowl.
  2. Cut in the chilled butter with a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs.
  3. Add in ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough holds together.
  4. Divide the dough into two discs, wrap them in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least one hour.
  5. Combine the diced peaches, sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, and vanilla extract in a medium bowl.
  6. Let this mixture sit for 15 minutes to macerate.
  7. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  8. Roll out one disc of dough on a floured surface until it is about 1/8 inch thick.
  9. Use a cookie cutter to cut the dough into 5-inch circles.
  10. Place a tablespoon of peach filling in the center of each circle.
  11. Fold the dough to create a half-moon shape, and crimp the edges to seal them tight.
  12. Brush the tops with the beaten egg and sprinkle lightly with coarse sugar.
  13. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and bubbly.
  14. Let them cool slightly before serving.

Notes

For a flakier crust, ensure butter is very cold. Experiment with different fruits for filling.
