Ingredients

• 1 package (2 crusts) refrigerated pie crusts
• 2 medium ripe peaches
• 3 tbsp granulated sugar
• 1 1/2 tsp cornstarch
• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
• 1 pinch of kosher salt
• 1, beaten large egg
• 2 tbsp hot honey
• 1 tbsp turbinado sugar

Instructions

1. 1Pit and finely dice the peaches. Toss them in a bowl with the granulated sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, lemon juice, and salt until evenly coated; let sit 5 minutes so juices thicken slightly.
2. 2Unroll the pie crusts on a lightly floured surface. Use a 4- to 5-inch round cutter (or a bowl as a guide) to cut four circles from each crust, re-rolling scraps once if needed.
3. 3Spoon a heaping tablespoon of the peach filling onto the center of four dough circles, leaving a clean 1/2-inch border all around.
4. 4Brush the borders lightly with beaten egg. Top each with a second dough circle and press the edges firmly with a fork to seal; poke two small steam vents in the top of each pie.
5. 5Brush the tops with more egg wash and sprinkle generously with turbinado sugar for crunch and sparkle.
6. 6Preheat the air fryer to 350°F for 3 minutes. Arrange two hand pies in the basket without overlapping and air-fry until deep golden and the filling is bubbling at the vents, 8 to 10 minutes.
7. 7Transfer finished pies to a wire rack and repeat with the remaining two pies.
8. 8While the pies are still warm, drizzle each with hot honey so it seeps into the vents and glazes the sugary tops.
9. 9Cool 5 to 10 minutes before eating so the filling sets enough to avoid burns. Serve warm as a portable late-summer treat.
