Cozy Pumpkin Hand Pies
Capture the essence of a crisp autumn afternoon with these beautiful, flaky Cozy Pumpkin Hand Pies. Made with buttery pie crust dough cut into the shapes of pumpkins, jack-o’-lanterns, or autumn leaves, these individual pastries are filled with a rich, spiced pumpkin puree filling. Baked until golden brown and dusted with cinnamon sugar, they offer all the comforting flavors of a traditional pumpkin pie in a convenient, portable, bite-sized form.
Serve these warm with a side of maple whipped cream or a drizzle of warm caramel sauce. The venting slits cut into the top crust can be shaped like spooky jack-o’-lantern faces, allowing the orange pumpkin filling to peek through playfully. They are perfect for outdoor bonfire gatherings or cozy nights spent indoors by the fireplace.
