Pumpkin Puff Pastry
Report
We start these little pumpkin pie bites with frozen puff pastry to keep things so simple. They bake up so flaky, with a creamy pumpkin filling, and a crackly cinnamon sugar topping. We serve these as breakfast or dessert - they're good any time of day!

Ingredients
For the pastry:
- 2 heets puff pastry dough 1 box, frozen
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon sugar
For the filling:
- 3/4 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 tablespoon flour
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/8 teaspoon ginger
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
Instructions
To prepare the pastry:
- Remove the puff pastry from the freezer to thaw for about 30-40 minutes.
- Whisk an egg in a small bowl and set aside.
To make the filling:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Add the pumpkin, egg, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt to a sauce pan and whisk to combine.
- Turn heat to low and cook the pumpkin mixture for about 10 minutes, stirring frequently, to thicken the mixture.
- Let cool while you cut the pastry.
To assemble and bake:
- Use a pumpkin cookie cutter to cut 9 pumpkins out of each sheet of puff pastry.
- Spoon around 1 tablespoon of pumpkin mixture into the center of half of the pumpkins.
- Lay the remaining pumpkins over the top of the filling and use a fork to crimp and seal the edges of the pumpkins. Don’t press too firmly - just enough to seal the edges.
- Brush the egg wash over the top of each pumpkin and use a paring knife to cut two curved ines and a straight line down the center of each pumpkin. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar and place on the prepared baking sheet leaving a couple inches between each pumpkin.
- Bake for 12-13 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the pastry has puffed up.
Notes
- We used a 3.5 inch cookie cutter. If your cookie is smaller or larger, you'll end up with more or less finished pastries and may need to adjust bake time a bit.
- You may use our homemade pumpkin pie spice in place of the listed spices. You'll need 3/4 teaspoon.
