Ingredients

Scale

Pie Crust:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup cold unsalted butter
  • ¼ cup butter-flavored shortening
  • ½ cup cold water

Peach Filling:

  • 16 oz frozen sliced peaches
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 23 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
  • 12 teaspoons cornstarch (if needed)

Vanilla Glaze:

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  • Make the Pie Crust:
    • In a large bowl, sift together flour and salt.
    • Cut in butter and shortening until the mixture resembles large crumbs.
    • Add cold water and stir until a dough begins to form.
    • Turn the dough out onto a work surface and knead until you have a soft, uniform ball (the dough may be crumbly at first).
    • Cut the dough into 8 equal pieces and roll into balls.
    • Place the dough balls on a baking sheet, press into discs, cover, and refrigerate for about 30 minutes or until ready to use.
  • Make the Peach Filling:
    • In a large saucepan, combine frozen peaches, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Toss to coat.
    • Bring to a simmer over medium heat until the peaches are tender enough to mash.
    • Mash the peaches, leaving some in small chunks.
    • Simmer until thickened and juices have dissolved, then stir in butter and lemon juice.
    • If needed, stir in cornstarch to thicken. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
  • Make the Glaze:
    • In a bowl, mix powdered sugar and milk until smooth (add more milk if necessary).
    • Stir in a pinch of salt and vanilla extract. Set aside.
  • Assemble and Fry the Pies:
    • Roll each dough ball into a 5-6 inch circle.
    • Place 2 tablespoons of peach filling in the center.
    • Fold the dough over the filling, pressing the edges firmly to seal.
    • Trim edges with a pizza cutter and crimp with a fork.
    • Heat oil in a deep-fryer or skillet to 350°F (175°C).
    • Fry 2-3 pies at a time until lightly golden, about 3-4 minutes (flip if needed).
    • Place fried pies on a cooling rack.
    • Brush one side with glaze, let harden, then brush again.
  • Serve:
    • Enjoy the fried peach pies once the glaze has set.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, consider adding cinnamon or nutmeg to the peach filling.
  • Make sure to let the oil heat properly to avoid soggy pies.
