Easy Peach Fried Pies

3/4 c. sugar
3 tbsp. cornstarch
3/4 c. water
3 peaches, peeled & diced
1/4 tsp. almond extract
1 (10 oz) tube flaky refrigerator biscuits
Vegetable oil

Combine sugar, cornstarch & water in small saucepan; mix well.

Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until smooth and thickened.

Remove from heat; stir in peaches & almond extract. Set aside.

Roll each biscuit out on a lightly floured surface to 1/8" thickness.

Spoon about 1/4 cup peach mixture on half of each dough circle.

To seal pies, moisten edges of circles and fold in half, making sure edges are even.

Using a fork dipped in flour, firmly press dough edges together.

Cook pies in 1" deep hot oil (360�) until golden, turning once. Drain and serve warm.
