—
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Filling
Begin by opening the can of peach pie filling and transferring its contents to a mixing bowl. Utilize a fork to break the peaches into smaller pieces and incorporate the cinnamon.
2. Assemble the Pies
On a floured surface, unroll the pie crusts. Employ a round cutter (approximately 4-5 inches in diameter) to create circles from the dough. Place about 1-2 tablespoons of the peach filling in the center of each circle. Fold the dough over to create a half-moon shape, and use a fork to firmly press and seal the edges.
3. Prepare for Baking
Arrange the pies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with the beaten egg white to achieve a golden finish.
4. Bake the Pies
Preheat the oven to 425°F. Bake the pies for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
5. Make the Vanilla Glaze
In a bowl, combine powdered sugar and milk, whisking until smooth. If the glaze is overly thick, gradually add more milk, one teaspoon at a time.
6. Glaze the Pies
Once the pies have cooled slightly, drizzle or brush the vanilla glaze over the tops.
7. Serve
Allow the glaze to set for a few minutes before serving these delightful, crispy treats.
Savor these delectable Southern Fried Peach Pies, a nostalgic indulgence perfect for sharing or enjoying as a special dessert.
