Peach Handpies

This may have been one of my most strenuous culinary adventures.  I was planning to have a bake sale with my friend at our local pool, and I was trying recipes out, and bringing them to taste test when I went swimming.  I was trying to make our treats more unique, not just your classic brownies and cupcakes that you see at most bake sales put together by kids. I was browsing around some cooking websites and flipping through some cookbooks when I came across several handpie recipes.  I had never made handpies before, but they looked pretty easy.  You needed to make pie dough (I'd done that before) and a fruit filling (I can do that too)  and I thought it could be pretty simple.  I decided on peaches as my fruit because it was summer and peaches have that natural sweetness and flavor that is delicious in pies and tarts.  It turned out to take a TON of time and I was pretty much feeling full on hatred towards the little crescent moon pies.  But they were a huge hit and I made a fair amount of money, and gave a good portion of it to the swim team.  So they did some good, in people's mouths, and in paying for a little something for the swim coaches!  Anyway, they were a tough experience, but they were yummy!  So if you like challenges in the kitchen, go for handpies!
