Peach Fried Pies with Canned Peaches
Indulge in a peach paradise with these desserts to make with canned peaches! From cobblers to crisps, we've gathered our top tips to ensure your peachy creations are a sweet success.
- Make sure you drain the peaches well.
- I used Pillsbury Grands biscuits for this recipe but, you may use any bigger type brand of biscuit that you prefer.
- Use a rolling pin to flatten each biscuit.
- If you don't have a rolling pin, you could use your fingers to press the biscuit dough until it’s flattened.
- Place the hand pies in the freezer for about 10 to 15 minutes before frying.
- You can test to see if the oil is hot enough by using a digital meat thermometer or dropping a little water in the oil. If it sizzles, the oil is ready for frying. Be careful, as hot oil can splatter!

Recipe Variations
- You can also use homemade pie dough, refrigerator pie dough or even frozen puff pastry to make this fried peach pies using canned biscuits recipe.
- If you don't like the flavor of almond extract, you can substitute vanilla extract.
- Can I swap out the peaches for another fruit flavor? Try blueberry, apple or even cherry pie filling in place of the canned peaches.
- Try adding spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, or ginger to the peach filling for extra warmth and depth of flavor.
- Instead of using plain biscuit dough, consider adding lemon zest or vanilla extract to the dough for added flavor. You can also try using different types of biscuits, such as buttermilk or cinnamon biscuits, for a unique taste.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: With a rolling pin, softly roll out each biscuit into a round shape. The circles should be about 4 to 6 inches in diameter.
Step 2: If the rolling pin begins to stick, lightly dust each biscuit with a sprinkle of flour. You can sprinkle some flour on the parchment paper too.
Step 3: After draining the peaches, place at least two peach slices onto each biscuit round. Then fold them over gently.
Step 4: Press the edges together firmly, and using a fork. Make sure the seams are sealed completely.
Step 5: Arrange the hand pies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Next, transfer the baking sheet to the freezer and allow the hand pies to chill for a minimum of 15 minutes before frying.
Quick Tip
The oil is ready when you drop a little bit of water on it and the water sizzles and pops.
How to Make Fried Peach Pies
Step 6: Heat up the oil in a spacious skillet; I opted for my trusty cast iron skillet. You won't require a significant amount of oil; roughly a cup should suffice for a skillet of similar size to mine.
Step 7: When the oil reaches a temperature of 350°F, carefully add four hand pies at a time. Exercise caution and attentiveness while handling 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 8: Let the hand pies cool down by transferring them to a baking rack set over a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. This setup ensures that any excess oil will drip off, leaving the pies perfectly crisp.
Glaze for Fried Pies
Step 9: Mix together the ingredients for the glaze. Then drizzle it over the cooled pastries.
Step 10: Drizzling the glaze over the hand pies while they're on the baking rack prevents any messy spills on your serving platter, as it allows the excess glaze to drip down efficiently.
Hand Pies with Biscuit Dough
Fried peach hand pies with biscuit dough 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!

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.

Storing, Freezing and Reheating Tips
Refrigerator: 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.
Freeze Uncooked: After assembling, freeze the uncooked hand pies on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Once solid, transfer them to a freezer-safe bag or airtight container, removing excess air to prevent freezer burn.
Freeze Already Fried Pies: Wrap each hand pie individually in plastic wrap or aluminum foil so they don't stick together. Place in the freezer for up to two months.
Reheating: Place the frozen hand pies on a baking sheet in a preheated 350° F oven for 10-15 minutes.

Fried Peach Pies using Canned Biscuits
Ingredients
For the Hand Pies:
- 1 can refrigerated biscuits 8 count tube of Grands Biscuits
- 15 ounce can peaches
For the Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- ¼ cup milk
- ½ teaspoon pure almond extract
Instructions
- 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.
- Drain the peaches.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Combine the ingredients for the glaze and pour on top of the cooled pastries.
Notes
- 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.
- Fried peach pies using canned biscuits are best served warm or at room temperature.

For this Sunday dinner, I wanted to use a can of peaches with a can of biscuits.
I had no idea what I was going to make with them, but I was determined to make something with those two ingredients.
I jumped on my desktop, and typed in what I had and your recipe was the 1st one to pop up..
I was like...This is it.... I just knew it and I'd not even tried them yet....
I'm about to do that right now. From the pics it looked yummy and I knew this was the one..
It did not disappoint...They were delicious and looked just like your pics..
Dessert was a hit, and I will be making this again for the next family function as you have to bring a dish..I'm confident this one will be requested every time..
Thank you
PS..I'm definitely signed up

This comment made my day...no my week...no my month! Thank you! Happy you enjoyed the recipe as much as my family does!
Lorie Bollinger says
Is this regular size canned biscuits or jumbo ?
Lois says
The recipe calls for one can regular sized canned refrigerated biscuits; Grands Biscuits 8 count tube. Hope you enjoy the hand pies!
Lorie Bollinger says
Thank you
Pam says
Can you bake these in the oven instead of frying?
Lois says
Yes you can, but they won't have that crispy outer shell that is associated with hand pies. After the pies are formed, place them on a parchment lined baking sheet. Bake in a preheated 400°F oven until pies are golden brown; about 25 to 30 minutes.I hope you enjoy them!
Bonnie says
Where are the air fryer instructions?
Lois says
They are in the section titled "Air Fryer Baking Tips."
Jaimie Brown says
At the bottom of the regular recipe is air fryer instructions. You have to scroll past the advertisements though. LOL

Wow - this looks so good and just screams summer picnics with ice cream too. Pinned and can't wait to try this out - and possibly use other fruits as well. I always enjoy your recipes when you share them. This one will be a feature on the next link up. #HomeMattersParty

Pam says
Oh, yes please! These look great, and I will absolutely make them for my husband. He loves peach pie. (I am largely gluten-free myself, so I'm hoping someday someone will come out with gluten-free canned biscuits.) Thanks for sharing at Thursday Favorite Things.
