Ingredients

Instructions

  • Stir together the chopped fresh peach, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cornstarch, butter, lemon juice and ground cinnamon in a medium saucepan.  
    1 peach, 2 tablespoon granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, 1 tablespoon butter, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Bring to a gentle boil stirring constantly and boil (still stirring) for one minute or until thickened.
  • Remove from heat and allow to cool completely before moving on to the next step.
  • Roll dough to ⅛ to ¼ inch thickness on a lightly floured surface and cut into 4-inch rounds. I used a small bowl as a template and cut around it to achieve this size. You can also buy a cookie cutter in that size but I didn't have one handy and didn't want to spend the money so I improvised.
  • Once you have your mini pies cut spoon 1 tablespoon of the cooled peach mixture into the center of each pastry circle. Moisten edges with water, fold pastry in half and use a fork dipped in flour to seal the edges.
  • Pour oil into a Dutch oven and heat to 375°. Fry the pies 2 to 3 at a time for 3 to 4 minutes until golden brown turning occasionally. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Serve while warm (but truth be told these are also great the next day!).
