Filling
1 (16 oz) bag frozen sliced peaches
2 tbsp unsalted butter

Cook Peach Filling: In a saucepan, cook peaches, butter, brown sugar, vanilla, spices, lemon juice, and salt over medium heat until softened. Stir in cornstarch slurry and cook until thickened. Cool completely.
Prep Dough: Roll out pie crusts and cut into 4-5 inch circles.
Assemble Hand Pies: Spoon cooled filling onto half of each dough circle. Fold over and crimp edges to seal. Brush with egg wash.
