If you still have a few peaches left over from the beginning Fall months, now’s the time to use them. But what if you have a bounty, a cornucopia full of peaches and you just can’t figure out what else to do with them? Lauren from I’ll Eat You created a jam filling using fresh peaches for her Peach Amaretto Hand Pies.

You might not think that making your own filling makes that big of a difference, but it sure does. It’ll take your desserts from yummy to extraordinary, especially since you can add your own special touch and flavor the filling however you like. Lauren shares her filling recipe with us, it’s a tasty one that includes a few tablespoons of amaretto and vanilla bean-an elegant combination of flavors!

One of the best parts about Lauren’s Peach Amaretto Hand Pies is that you don’t have to pre-cook the filling! The filling will cook up nicely when you bake the hand pies for a maximum of 15 minutes. Now, that’s a lot less time than it takes to bake a pie, which makes this the ideal quick and homemade dessert!
