Hand Pie Recipes
Hand pie recipes keep baking on a quick and easy level.
Now, there’s nothing wrong with a lot of complicated steps in a dessert, but that just doesn’t work into my lifestyle or cooking skill level, so I go for simple, organic, and quick.
Easy Peach Pies
You’ll serve these easy peach pies warm or you can leave on your counter, put on a pretty cake plate and cover, and eat a room temperature. When I serve them warm, I’ll top with something.
Most folks will go for ice cream, but as a change, why don’t you try what I’ve used, that’s gotten rave reviews, creme fraiche! Yes, it’s not as ‘sweet’ and it adds that bit of creaminess that you might be craving.
And, try to find peaches in season like sweet Georgia or South Carolina peaches or Palisades peaches!

Best little peach pie recipe you'll ever taste! Only a few ingredients and you're set. Individual peach pie mounds. Perfect for any occasion! The butter/brown sugar mixture will ooze during baking. No problem. That will make a caramelized like brittle 'candy' in and around the peach mound. If you don't use all the brown sugar/cinnamon mixture, just put it in an airtight container and use for something else, like toast!

Just made them and are in the oven! Thank you Mama Ally for all these wonderful easy desserts that you show us how to make!!! 🙂
Marlene! You’ve made my day, luv! Thank you! xoxx ally
Thank you for the quick and simple recipe for the delicacies, I am preparing them now, but I also wanted to ask if I don’t have puff pastry, can I replace it with crescent dough sheet? you are an amazing woman,
Elwira, thank you for your kind words, I soooooo appreciate, luv! You could try crescent rolls! It would give them more of a doughEEEEE ‘nest’! Please let me know how they turn out! xoxx ally
Can you freeze the peach hand pies?
Hi, Paula, I’ve not done that. Not sure they’d be nearly as good as when they’re fresh out of the oven. I think you’ll compromise some of the texture of the puff pastry when freezing, but, hey, it’s worth a try. And, what I’d do is reheat them on low and slow in the oven or a toaster oven. Please let me know if you try freezing and how they fare! xoxx ally
Ally I made your peach upside down mini pies. They came out great and taste delicious. I wish I could post a picture but I can’t figure out how. Thank You for sharing this wonderful recipe.
Stella! I’m smiling from ear to ear!! Are you on IG? If so, just take a pix w/your cell phone. Then DM me, and you’ll see a little icon for uploading a picture. OR you can take one directly in the DM and send to me! xoxx ally
I just made these this morning. I can’t say enough on how amazingly good these are. Yummy, thank you for the recipe
Erin!!! You’ve made my day, luv! Thank you for taking the time to come back and let me know! This is why I do what I do and you just made me feel like a million bucks. xoxx ally
I made these after watching you make them on Instagram for Bobby and family. They were a hit! I sliced the peaches like you did. What other fruits can be used? If I make it with apples, should I saute them first?
Michelle! You’re genius! Yes, apples are great. I love sweet crispy crunchy slightly tart ones. You can wash well, slice in halves, then in thin slices, or you can dice then mound and proceed like the peaches. I’ve done pears as well. Frozen cherries can work well. I toss those frozen cherries in a couple of tablespoons of flour or arrowroot. They tend to really ooze liquid when baked and this flour toss helps with that. I’ve not done blueberries or blackberries, but, again, worth trying, luv! xoxx ally
This looks so amazing and I just popped them in the oven now. Going to serve with vanilla ice cream on top!
Hoping they turn out as nice as yours did. I do have a question tho…our peaches where I live have been horrible. Very dry and like cotton when you cut them. No flavor. I went ahead and used them anyway, but do you think frozen peaches would work? If so, should I thaw them first? Thanks again for an easy peezy recipe!
Gay, by now you’ve eaten some of the hand pies! How were they? YES, you can certainly use frozen peaches and you don’t need to thaw. In the cooking process, they do that and are perfect. I use them in the off season when peaches are like you said, bland and unflavorful! Vanilla ice cream is awesome! xoxx ally
Thanks for the reply! Yes we ate them already and they turned out delicious in spite of the pitiful peaches! Will make again and try frozen.
Gay! So great to hear, and when you use those frozen slices, I think you’ll have even more flavor. Hope you can access some fresh before the season’s end! xoxx ally
These look so delicious! I have a question about the puff pastry sheets. The recipe says 3 (3×9) sheets, but your video showed you cutting one sheet. Are the sheets layered before cutting and then does each tent consist of 3 layers of pastry? Thanks!
Hi, Linda, thank you! The sheets? It depends upon the brand of puff pastry you purchase. What you’re seeing here is the ‘refrigerated’ roll out type of puff pastry. Then there is the frozen puff pastry (Pepperidge Farms) that is in three 3×9″ strips. These can be molded together into ‘one’ large piece of course. I prefer the refrigerated, but if I can’t source, I’ll get the frozen, thaw to about room temp and proceed. The big thing is have as many small cover pieces as you have peach mounds. Hope this helps! xoxx ally
When do you use the coconut sugar?
Hi, Rose, you can usually easily find in in most grocery stores! xoxx ally
I don’t see where you use the coconut sugar, but it’s mentioned in the ingredients list🤔
Hi, Lindsey, it’s right there in the instructions, #4. I’ve added the sugar (and cinnamon if you wish) in two ways. Putting it atop each peach mound. Or, tossing all the peach slices (or halves if that’s what you have) in the sugar then creating mounds. Hope this makes sense! xoxx ally
Can you use phyllo dough?
Hi, Olivia, I’ve had a few folks use phyllo dough, and it seems to work. I haven’t tried yet as I prefer the more ‘dough’ result of the puff pastry. xoxx ally
The ingredients say coconut sugar but the instructions say brown sugar. Also the instructions say 2 tbsp brown sugar on each peach mound but in your video with Bobby, it looked liked you used about a half of a tablespoon. 2 tbsp seems like a lot. Thanks for any clarification. Can’t wait to try these!!
Hi, Kathy, I corrected that. If you choose to use cinnamon (sometimes I don’t b/c I just want the complete taste of the peaches), you can mix w/the sugar. Folks can use any type of sugar they wish. I prefer coconut b/c it gives a little ‘nuttier’ taste I think (just my tastebuds probably). And, then on the amount of sugar, yes, you can regulate depending upon the quality of the peaches. These that we had w/Bobby were super juicy and naturally sweet, so we cut back on the amount. Make sense? Please let me know how you likeee! xoxx ally
This looks delicious. I have about seven peaches ripening on my counter right now and I can’t wait to try it this weekend. I’ll let you know how it turns out and thank you for this recipe.
Debbie! You’re a sweetheart, YES, please let me know how you likeee! xoxx ally
Peaches are my favorite fruit! I can’t wait to try these. Thank you sweet Ally! ❤️
Oh, dear Jene, you’re a sweetheart, please let me know! Post a pix on IG luv and tag me! xoxx ally
Can you use refrigerated roll out pie crust?
Yes, you may get only like 3 pieces from one roll out pie crust. I love the puff pastry roll out refrigerated sheet. I can usually get 9 small squares from it to use. Hope this helps! They’re deeeelish! xoxx ally
Love this going to try it this weekend. Peach pie holds a special place in my heart. Was the first type of pie I ever made on my own and won top honors at the fair. These look just absolutely yummy.
Oh, Marcia, what a sweet story! Isn’t amazing how food brings forth such positive delicious memories! Yes, I think you’ll love these. They’re like ‘hand pies’…messy, but yummy. I’ve made them four times, had several friends make, and served them to quite a few folks and they’re always a hit. Best bites are shortly out of the oven! xo ~ally
I love it! Such an amazing summer treat!
Toni, luv! Thank you! Yes, it’s a fabulous treat! xo
I’ve seen this made with apples before but never peaches. I LOVE the peaches, looks perfect!
Ashley! Thank you. Yes, I’ve seen the apples, too, and I much prefer the peaches! Thanks for visiting, luv! xo
I loved that you used puff pastry! Such a smart idea. Peach pies are the best.
Dorothy! Thank you…I always look for easy shortcuts…since I’m not real good at baking, I need help. But, hey, these peach pie (hand pies) are the bomb! xo ~ally
