Hand Pies Recipe

This hand pie is savory and sweet, like Thanksgiving stuffing & cranberry sauce. The black beans add a much needed bite and give it another great fall flavor as well. Try these out for a burgeoning-September-weeknight meal and enjoy!

This filling recipe makes enough for about a dozen hand-sized hand pies.

What you need:

1 medium white/yellow onion, diced
1 cup diced yellow squash
1 corn cob, kernels shaved off
1 handful green beans, 1 inch pieces cut on a bias, ends trimmed
1 granny smith apple, diced small
1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
salt, pepper, 1/2 tsp each cinnamon, cumin, paprika
2 tbsp coconut oil

Instructions

1. Put the onion, corn, oil, cinnamon, cumin, and paprika in a hot sauté pan and cook down until the onions are translucent, stirring to prevent burning.

2. Add the squash, apple, green beans, and black beans, and mix together. Cook on medium heat for 5-10 minutes and pour in about 1/4 cup water.

3. Let it cook down for 5 minutes, then mash it up a little with a potato masher or fork. Toss on some salt & pepper to taste.

4. Preheat the oven to 425°F. If you don’t already have the dough prepared, do so now. Spread out the dough into a rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick. Top half the dough with the filling, then fold the dough over and crimp the edges with your fingers. (Be gentle or the dough may break.) Slice a couple of holes in the top to let some of the air out during cooking.

5. Place the hand pies on a greased baking sheet. Bake until golden, about 20 minutes. Eat them while they’re still warm!
Enjoy!
