Instructions

For the Pumpkin Pasties:

  • – Add the pumpkin puree, egg yolk, vanilla, pumpkin pie spice, and heavy cream. Mix until smooth.
  • – Roll out the pie crusts and cut out 20 mini pumpkins using a 4″ pumpkin cookie cutter. Re-roll the dough as needed.
  • – Transfer 10 pumpkins to each prepared baking sheet. Spoon a heaping tablespoon of pumpkin filling onto the center of each pumpkin.
  • – Brush the edges with egg wash, then place another pumpkin on top of each filled pumpkin. Press the edges together with a fork and cut a small lightning bolt into the center of each.

Baking the Pumpkin Pasties:
