Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

Melt 1/4 cup of butter in a pan over medium heat.

Add 1 pound of frozen peaches to the pan and bring to a light simmer.

Add 1/2 cup of sugar and 1/2 cup of brown sugar to the peaches and mix until sugars have dissolved.

Add 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon, 1/8 teaspoon of nutmeg, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1/2 teaspoon of lemon juice to the peach mixture and continue to cook for 10 minutes or until peaches are tender.

Turn off the heat and set the peach mixture aside until later.

Roll out the pie crust dough and cut into round pieces.

Add the peach mixture to the center of each round piece of dough.

Fold the dough in half and lightly press down the edges to seal the pie.

Using a fork, crimp the edges of the pie.

Using a sharp knife, cut two vent holes on top of each pie.

Brush the tops of the pies with 1 tablespoon of melted butter.

Top the pies with a mixture of 1/2 tablespoon of sugar and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon.

Place the pies on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
