Roll Out Dough
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to about 1/8 inch thick. Use a round cutter to cut out circles of dough, about 4-5 inches in diameter.

Fill Pies
Place a tablespoon of the peach filling in the center of each dough circle. Fold the dough over to create a half-moon shape and crimp the edges with a fork to seal.

Heat Oil
In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Fry Pies
Carefully place a few filled pies in the hot oil, frying them for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
