Main Ingredients Needed

This is an overview of the ingredients and instructions. Be sure to see the recipe card below for exact quantities, detailed instructions and special notes.

• Pillsbury Grands Biscuits; 8 count size
• Canned peaches - I used packed in light syrup.
• Powdered sugar
• Milk
• Almond extract - if you don't like the flavor of almond extract, you can substitute vanilla extract.

Step-by-Step Directions

Step 1: Flatten the Biscuits

Using a rolling pin, gently roll each biscuit into about a 4 - 6 inch round. You may need to sprinkle a little flour on top of each biscuit if you find the rolling pin is sticking.

Step 2: Add the Peaches

The canned peaches for this recipe for fried peach pies using canned biscuits needs to be drained.

Once the peaches are drained, add at least two peach slices to the biscuit round and gently fold over. Press the seams together and then using a fork, seal the edges completely.

Place the hand pies on a parchment lined baking sheet. Then place the baking sheet in the freezer for at least 15 minutes before frying.

Step 3: Frying Instructions

Preheat the oil in a large skillet. I used my cast iron skillet. You don't need much oil, probably about a cup of oil for a skillet as large as I have.

Once the oil reaches 350°, add four of the hand pies. Do not add all eight at once. Please be very careful working with hot oil.

Allow the pies to cook for about two to four minutes and then gently flip them using metal tongs. Continue cooking for another two minutes until the pies are golden brown.

Step 4: Allow the Pies to Cool

Allow the hand pies to cool by placing them on a baking rack that's place on top of a baking sheet lined with parchment paper so any excess oil will drip off.

Step 5: Prepare the Glaze

Combine the ingredients for the glaze and pour on top of the cooled pastries.

Pouring the glaze on top of the hand pies while they're still on top of the baking rack allows the glaze to drip down and not create a huge mess all over your serving platter.

Step 6: Serving and Storing Tips

Fried peach pies using canned biscuits are best served warm or at room temperature. They would be great with a scoop of homemade vanilla ice cream or even homemade whipped cream.served on top!

Store them in a plastic container loosely covered with plastic wrap. Do not store them in a closed container as the glaze will soften the pies.

Air Frying Baking Tips

You can make this recipe using an air fryer as well:

• After the pies have been formed, place them in the basket of a preheated 385°F air fryer that's been coated with cooking spray or lined with parchment paper.
• Place the hand pies into the air fryer and then brush the tops of the pies with a little vegetable oil.
• Bake until golden brown, about 8 minutes or so depending on how your air fryer cooks.
• Remove from the air fryer and allow to cool a few minutes before drizzling with the glaze and enjoying.
• Do NOT overcrowd the air fryer. Work in batches.
