Start by planning in advance and thaw the pie crusts per package instructions.
When ready to make the hand pies, roll out the pie dough on a lightly floured surface, and using a cookie cutter cut out 3 or more 5-inch circles from each crust. Discard the scraps.
Add about 2 tablespoons of peach pie filling to the center of the circles leaving about a ½-inch border.
After that, dip a fingertip in water and run it around the edges of the circles. Fold them to create a half-moon shape and pinch the edges together. Crimp the edges together using a fork, as shown in the photo collage.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg with the water and brush the surface of the hand pies with the egg mixture.
Sprinkle with sugar, either white or brown and make 3 small incision cuts on the top, this helps the steam escape.
Preheat the air fryer to 360 degrees F and spray the basket with oil spray.
Arrange the pies, in one single layer not touching each other. If needed cook in batches.
Air fry for 9-10 minutes, or until golden brown.
Remove from the air fryer and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
