Leaving about 1 tbsp of the juice, drain the peaches. Then, whisk in the cornstarch until smooth.
The pour the juice mixture into the peaches and gently stir.
Flour a surface and roll out your pie crust. For a template, use about a 5 inch plate and cut around it with a knife into a circle. Keep cutting and folding until all your dough is used. You will have enough dough for about 7-8 circles from your two crusts.
Take a heaping tablespoon full of your filling and place in the center of your crust and brush edges with water and flip and fold the dough into a half-circle. Crimp up the edges using a fork.
To allow steam to release while baking, you will need to cut three small cuts into the top of each pie.
Using non-stick spray, spray the top of each pie and the basket of the air fryer.
Without touching the pies together, place and cook in your fryer for 13-15 minutes at 350 degrees.
You can make your icing while they are cooking by mixing the powdered sugar and vanilla together. Then, add in your milk to have more of a thin consistency for drizzling.
Take out the pies and allow them to cool down and after they cool, drizzle the icing on top or sprinkle with sugar.
