Ingredients
- 1 package pie crust unrolled & room temperature
- 1 ½ cups pureed pumpkin
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground cloves
- pinch salt
- water for sealing pastries
- 1 tablespoon water + 1 egg whisked
- 4 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Unroll the pie crust and bring to room temperature. Use a circular shaped cookie cutter to cut out the pasty shapes. Utilize leftover dough by rolling it together and use a rolling pin to flatten for additional cutout space.
- Combine the pure pumpkin, brown sugar, nutmeg, cinnamon, and cloves. Use a spoon to measure the filling in 1/2 tablespoon amounts into the center of each pasty cutout.
- Dip your fingertips in water and wipe along one side of each pasty, folding the top over to make a seal. Gently press together the edges.
- Brush the pasties with the eggwash and cut few small slits in the tops of each pasty to ventilate. Arrange on a parchment lined cooking sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the pasties are golden brown.
- While the pasties are cooking, mix together the powdered sugar and milk until a runny icing forms.
- Remove the pasties from the oven, let cool for a few minutes before moving to a cooling rack to cool completely. Enjoy warm, or drizzle on the icing!
