EASY PEACH PIE WITH CANNED PEACHES

Steps:

• Prepare pie crust if using homemade.
• Preheat the oven to 420°F (210°C).
• Prepare the filling: If you're using canned peaches, drain the slices thoroughly and toss with flour, sugar, vanilla extract and milk.
• If you're using fresh peaches, you will need to peel and slice them first. To do this, simply cut an "x" on the blossom end of the peach (the tip of the fruit opposite the stem side) and dunk each peach into boiling water for 30 to 60 seconds before dunking into an ice bath. The skins should peel off easily if the peaches are ripe enough.
• Transfer the peach filling into the prepared bottom layer of the crust.
• Make the lattice crust: Roll out the second disc of pie crust dough on floured surface until you get a 12″ circle. Using a pizza cutter, slice dough into 1/2″ pieces and start placing on top of pie dish, creating lattice design; tuck or pinch dough together for crust edge. Alternatively you could place entire piece of dough over top of dish, trim edge and crimp together and cut 1″ slits in the top to release steam.
• Brush the top of the dough with melted coconut oil and sprinkle with coarse sugar and ground cinnamon if desired.
• Bake at 420°F (210°C) for about 15 to 20 minutes, then lower the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 40 to 45 minutes until golden brown. You may need to turn your pie in the oven to get an evening browning.
• Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely - about 3 to 4 hours.
• Covered with plastic wrap, this pie can last in the fridge for up to 5 days, and up to 8 months in the freezer (see notes above for more information on storing and freezing).

• Place cookie sheet on oven rack. Heat oven to 400°F.
• In large bowl, mix sugar, flour and cinnamon. Stir in peaches and lemon juice. Spoon into frozen crust. While second crust is still in pan and frozen, remove crimp with sharp knife.

Cover edge of crust with pie shield or foil strips.
• Bake on cookie sheet about 45 minutes or until crust is golden brown and juice is thick and bubbly. Cover entire top of pie loosely with foil if crust is getting too brown. Cool on cooling rack at least 2 hours.

PEACH HAND PIES

Steps:

• Combine the peaches, water, vanilla seeds and pod, granulated sugar, brown sugar, lemon juice and salt in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer and cook until syrupy and the peaches are soft and just beginning to break down, 12 to 18 minutes. (Add more water if the mixture is too thick.) Discard the vanilla pod and mash the peaches; let cool.
• Preheat the oven to 425˚ F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Gather the pie dough into 2 small compact squares; roll out each into a 12-inch square. Cut each in half, then cut each half into thirds to make twelve 4-by-6-inch rectangles.
• Arrange 6 rectangles on the baking sheet and top each with 3 tablespoons of the peach compote. Cover each with another rectangle of dough; crimp the edges with a fork to seal. Cut a small vent into the center of each top; brush with the beaten egg. Bake until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes.
