Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tbsp granulated sugar
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
1/3 cup ice water
3 fresh peaches, peeled and diced
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 tbsp cornstarch
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 egg, beaten for egg wash
Instructions
Whisk flour, sugar, and salt in a large bowl.
Cut cold butter into flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add ice water, mixing until the dough just holds together.
Chill the dough for 30 minutes while preparing the filling.
In a separate bowl, toss diced peaches with brown sugar, cornstarch, and cinnamon.
Roll out dough on a floured surface and cut into circles or rectangles.
Place a spoonful of filling in the center of each piece of dough.
Fold dough over filling and crimp edges tightly with a fork to seal.
Brush the tops with the beaten egg wash.
Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 25 minutes or until golden brown.
Notes
Keep the butter as cold as possible to ensure maximum flakiness. If the dough becomes too warm while rolling, chill it again briefly. You can substitute nutmeg for cinnamon to add extra warmth to the filling. Serve warm, plain, or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
