### 👩‍🍳 How to Make Fried Peach Pies

1. **Make the Filling:**
In a saucepan over medium heat, cook peaches with sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, and cornstarch until the mixture thickens. Let it cool completely.

2. **Prepare the Dough:**
Mix flour and salt, then cut in cold butter until crumbly. Gradually add cold water until a dough forms. Chill for 20–30 minutes.

3. **Assemble the Pies:**
Roll out the dough and cut into circles (about 4–6 inches in diameter). Spoon peach filling onto one side, fold over, and crimp the edges with a fork to seal.

4. **Fry Until Golden:**
Heat oil to 350°F (175°C). Fry pies in batches until golden brown on both sides, about 2–3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

5. **Glaze (Optional):**
While still warm, drizzle or brush with a simple vanilla glaze for an extra-sweet finish.

### 💡 Tips for Success

* Make sure the filling is cool before assembling, or it may cause the dough to tear.
* Don’t overfill—just a spoonful will do!
* Press edges tightly to avoid leakage during frying.
* For a shortcut, use refrigerated pie dough or even biscuit dough.
