Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1/4 c ham, diced small
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/4 tsp cumin
  • 1/4 tsp chili powder
  • 1/8 tsp salt (use less if your ham is salty)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375F.
  2. Prepare pie dough.
  3. Mix all filling ingredients together in a small bowl.
  4. Separate pie dough into walnut-sized balls. Roll each ball into a 4" diameter circle. Once all the dough has been rolled, begin to fill the hand pies. Place 2 -3 Tbsp of filling slightly off-center of each circle. Moisten the edges of the dough. Fold dough over filling and press firmly around the edge to seal.

  6. Bake hand pies for 25-30 minutes on a cookie sheet, until golden brown.
