Step 1: Prepare the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the cold, cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your hands to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add the ice water and mix until the dough comes together. Shape the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Step 2: Make the Peach Filling
In a saucepan, combine the sliced peaches, brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and lemon zest. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens, about 10-15 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.
Step 3: Roll Out the Dough and Cut Out Circles
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to about ¼ inch thickness. Using a round cookie cutter or a glass, cut out circles from the dough. Re-roll any scraps as needed to make more circles.

Step 4: Assemble the Hand Pies
Place a spoonful of the peach filling in the center of half of the dough circles. Brush the edges with water, then top each filled circle with another dough circle. Press the edges together with a fork to seal the hand pies.
