These delightful hand pies are inspired by a local German restaurant's Red Reuben sandwich, a creative twist on the classic Reuben. Imagine flaky pastry embracing a savory filling of corned beef, Swiss cheese, and tangy pickled red cabbage, all brought together by a luscious Thousand Island dressing.

Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Roll out pie crusts on a 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. (10 minutes)

03

Step

Whisk egg and milk together to make an egg wash. Brush over the borders of each round. (3 minutes)

04

Step

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. (15 minutes)

05

Step

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. (5 minutes)

06

Step

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. (20 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a thin smear of Dijon mustard to the pastry before adding the other fillings.
Make sure the pickled red cabbage is well-drained to prevent soggy hand pies.
These hand pies are delicious served with German potato salad and dill pickles.
