Ingredients

  • 2 (9 inch) unbaked pie crusts
  • 6 tablespoons Thousand Island salad dressing
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • 1 cup shredded corned beef
  • 6 slices Swiss cheese, cut to fit
  • ¾ cup pickled red cabbage, well drained

Information

  • Cook Time: 20 mins
  • Total Time: 35 mins
  • Servings: 6
  • Yield: 6 hand pies

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Roll out pie crusts on a flat, lightly floured surface. Cut each crust into three 6-inch rounds. Spread Thousand Island dressing evenly over the rounds, leaving a 1/2-inch border.
  • Whisk egg and milk together to make an egg wash. Brush over the borders.
  • Divide the corned beef evenly among the 6 rounds, placing it in the center. Top each with Swiss cheese and red cabbage. Bring the sides of the dough to meet in the middle, forming a semi-circle shape. Press to seal and crimp the edges with a fork.
  • Cut 2 small slits into each hand pie for steam to escape. Brush the top of the pies with the remaining egg wash. Transfer pies to the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until dough is cooked through and golden brown, 17 to 20 minutes. Remove pies from the baking sheet and serve warm.
