Harry Potter Pumpkin Pasties
Description
These Pumpkin Pasties combine pumpkin puree with cream cheese, sugar, and pumpkin pie spice to produce a mildly spiced, creamy filling balanced with sweetness. The filling is placed onto thin-cut circles of pre-made pie crust, folded over, and sealed with fork tines. Small vents on top allow steam to escape, helping create a tender crust rather than soggy. A butter brush and optional sugar crystals enhance the crust’s browning and add a slight crunch.
The pasties bake at moderate heat until golden brown, offering a handheld treat with a spiced, creamy texture inside and a flaky, lightly crisp outside. They make a seasonal snack or dessert and are especially fitting for autumn and festive occasions.
They can be served warm or at room temperature, making them a flexible option for gatherings or snacks.
Ingredients
- 2 (14.1-ounce) pie crust Pillsbury refrigerated
- ¾ cup pumpkin puree
- 3 ounces cream cheese softened
- ⅓ cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 1 egg
- ¼ cup butter melted
- decorating sugar crystals or cinnamon sugar or sprinkles, optional
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Cut out 12 (4-inch) circles from the pie crusts using the top of a large cup, a cookie cutter, or a bowl, rerolling dough as needed. Set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, cream cheese, sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and egg. Set aside.
- Using the rolling pin again, gently roll out each circle just a little more to create a crust slightly thinner than a regular pie crust. Evenly distribute the pumpkin filling between the 12 dough circles, placing the filling on one half of the circle. Gently fold the dough over the filling. Using a fork, press the edges of the dough together, sealing the filling inside.
- Using a sharp knife, cut a few slits across the top of each pasty. Place each pasty on a baking sheet. Using a pastry brush, lightly coat each pasty with melted butter. Sprinkle the top of each pasty with sugar crystals, cinnamon sugar, or colored sugar sprinkles, if desired.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until pasties are lightly browned.
