Prep Time

Total Time

1. Preheat the oven to 400 F.

Instructions:

2. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Instructions:

3. In a large bowl, whisk the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, spice mix, and egg until smooth. Set aside.

Instructions:

4. Roll out the prepared pie crust dough until it is about ⅛” thick.

Instructions:

5. Using a biscuit cutter or a small bowl that is between 4” and 5” in diameter, cut circles out of the dough. You should be able to get about 5 from each pie crust, then you can re-roll the scraps to get a few more.

Instructions:

6. Place the pie crust circles on the prepared baking sheet and place about 1 ½ tablespoons of filling in the center of each one.

Instructions:

7. Using your finger, moisten the edges of each circle with a small amount of water. Don’t drown the pie crust, just get it slightly damp so it helps to make a seal.

Instructions:

8. Pick up two opposite edges of the pie crust circle and bring them together at the top. Think of how you would hold a taco! This helps to keep the filling away from the edges while you seal them. Then gently press the edges together, starting at the top and working your way down to the sides.

Instructions:

9. Lay the half circle back down on the cookie sheet and use a fork to crimp seal the edges together the rest of the way. Repeat with the other hand pies.

Instructions:

10. Brush the top of each with the egg yolk wash and sprinkle with coarse sugar.

Instructions:

11. Using a small sharp knife, cut a small lighting bolt into the center of each hand pie to let steam out.

Instructions:

12. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.

Instructions:

13. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
