Perfect Peach Hand Pies for 8 Servings

Instructions:

1. Whisk flour, sugar, and salt in a bowl.
2. Use a pastry cutter to work the cold butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized lumps remaining.
3. Add ice water one tablespoon at a time, stirring with a fork until the dough just holds together.
4. Form into a disk, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for 30 minutes to relax the gluten and keep the butter cold.
5. In a medium bowl, toss diced peaches with maple syrup, cinnamon, and salt.
6. Sprinkle cornstarch over the fruit and stir gently until the peaches are coated in a velvety glaze.
7. Stir in the vanilla extract.
8. On a floured surface, roll the dough into a 12x12 inch square and cut into 8 equal squares.
9. Place 2 generous tablespoons of filling in the center of each square.
10. Fold the dough over the filling to create a triangle.
