Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs divided
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp. Pumpkin pie spice divided
  • 1 2 count refrigerated pie crusts
  • 2 tbsp. Granulated sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 450 degrees fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Roll out pie crusts, to about 1⁄4 inch thick.
  • Use a 3-4 inch pumpkin cookie cutter to cut out an even number of pumpkin shapes.
  • Re-roll any unused dough until you’ve cut as many shapes as you can, the cookie cutter size
  • will determine how many pies you can make, a 4 inch cutter makes about 5 pies.
  • Next, make the filling. Whisk together 1 large egg, pumpkin puree, brown sugar, and 1⁄2 tsp
  • pumpkin pie spice.
  • Add about 2-3 tablespoon of filling to half of the pumpkin cut outs. More, or less, depending on the size
  • of your pumpkins.
  • Place another pumpkin cut out on top of each of the pumpkins with filling.
  • Use a fork to press the edges and seal the pies.
  • Combine 2 tbsp. Sugar and 1⁄2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, stir.
  • Lightly beat an egg, and brush the tops of the pumpkins with egg.
  • Sprinkle the sugar mixture over the pies.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the pumpkin curves into the pies.
  • Bake the pies for 15-20 minutes, until golden brown.

Notes

  • Chill the Dough: If your dough gets too soft while working, pop it in the fridge for a few minutes to firm it up.
  • Pumpkin Cookie Cutter: Using a pumpkin-shaped cutter adds a fun touch, but feel free to get creative with other shapes like apples or stars.
  • Serve with Ice Cream: These mini pumpkin hand pies are amazing on their own, but a scoop of vanilla ice cream takes them to the next level.
  • Storage: Keep any leftovers in an airtight container or wrap them tightly in plastic wrap to enjoy later. Let them cool to room temperature before storing.
