These are a perfect little dessert for fall and easy enough for the kids to help out with. I use store bought pie crusts for this for convenience, which already comes with 2 crusts per package.

Ingredients

9 pies
  1. 2Store bought pie crust (or homemade)
  2. 1 cuppumpkin puree
  3. 1/3 cupbrown sugar
  4. 1 tsp.pumpkin pie spice
  5. 1 tsp.vanilla extract
  6. 1large egg, beaten
  7. Cinnamon sugar, for topping

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a large baking tray with parchment paper and set it aside.

  2. 2

    In a medium bowl, whisk together the pumpkin, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice and vanilla extract. In a separate, small bowl, beat the egg. Set these aside.

  3. 3

    Roll out your pie crusts and use a large circular cookie cutter (mine was about a 3.5 inch size) or the top of a drinking glass to cut out circles from the dough. Reroll out the scraps and continue to cut out circles to use up all the crust dough.

  4. 4

    Place half the dough circles on the prepared baking sheet. Place a spoonful of the pie filling in the center of each dough circle.

  5. 5

    Working one at a time, dip the tip of your finger in water and run it around the edges of the dough circle. Then place one of the remaining dough circles on top and use your fingers to seal around the edges. Once you have all the top circles on, use the tines of a fork to crimp around the edges of each pie.

  6. 6

    Use a sharp knife to poke 2 or 3 small holes in the top of each pie. Then brush the beaten egg over each one. After the egg wash, lightly sprinkle each pie with cinnamon sugar.

  7. 7

    Bake the pies in the oven for 16-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown.

  8. 8

    Allow them to cool slightly before serving, as the filling will be quite hot. If you have any leftovers, store them in the fridge.

I love to bake and to try out new recipes! I'm always on the lookout for simple dinners for busy weeknights. A lot of the recipes I post on here are ones I've found on Pinterest or from different bloggers, and that I've tried and really enjoyed, but I always reference to where I got the recipe from in the recipe description and the pictures are my own. If there's no source listed, then it's a rare recipe that I came up with. I have two wonderful kids and I hope to pass on my love of cooking and baking to them.
