Test Kitchen Tip
Purchased pie crust makes these pies so easy to make, but if you have a favorite pie crust recipe, use it.
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Combine peaches, 3 Tbsp. granulated sugar, cornstarch, zest, lemon juice, ginger, and salt.
Unroll crust on a lightly floured surface, then cut four circles with a 4½-inch cutter. Arrange two dough circles on prepared baking sheet. Roll remaining dough circles to about 5¼ inches in diameter.
Using a slotted spoon, place ⅓ cup filling on the centers of dough circles on baking sheet. Brush egg around edges, then top with larger dough circles and press edges together to tightly seal. Crimp edges with a fork. Brush tops of pies with remaining egg and sprinkle with sanding sugar. Cut two to three slits in tops.
Bake pies until crusts are golden and filling bubbles, 25–30 minutes. Let pies cool 10–15 minutes; serve warm or at room temperature.
To make sure the dough is large enough to cover the filling, roll two rounds slightly larger in diameter.
To help seal the pies, crimp the edges of the connecting top and bottom crusts with a fork.
