Make your own Pumpkin Pasties

Pumpkin Pasties can be open, like a tart or closed for a handheld treat, depending on your preference! Harry Potter first got to enjoy a pumpkin pasty on the Hogwarts Express during his first year when he famously impressed Ron by purchasing everything on the trolley.

These delicious morsels can be made with sugar cookie dough (our personal favorite) or with premade pie or pastry dough. Just cut out round circles (a wide-mouth mason jar lid works perfectly!) of dough and line a muffin tin with a circle of dough.

Pumpkin Pasties

You’ll Need:
Pre-made sugar cookie dough (break apart, otherwise slice and mold sugar)
Cookie to fit into muffin pan.
scant ½ cup pumpkin puree, homemade or from a can (not pumpkin pie filling)
2 Tbs Brown Sugar
¼ teaspoon cinnamon
a pinch of allspice
a pinch of cardamom
a pinch of nutmeg
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
Powdered sugar

Mold sugar cookie into muffin pan. Combine the pumpkin, cinnamon, allspice, cardamom, nutmeg, and both sugars together in a small bowl, mixing well. Spoon the mixture into the cookie dough-lined muffin cups. Let Bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown. Allow it to cool and sprinkle powdered sugar or a dollop of whipped cream on the top prior to serving.

1/8 tsp EACH of:

Combine the pumpkin, cinnamon, allspice, cardamom, nutmeg, and both sugars together in a small bowl, mixing well.
Unroll the pie crust and using a large-mouth mason jar lid, cut out large circles.
Spoon the mixture into the center of the circle, fold it over and use a fork to press down to seal the edges.
Bake the pasties at 350F for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown. Allow it to cool and sprinkle powdered sugar or a dollop of whipped cream on the top prior to serving.

If you’d prefer, you can add a glaze drizzle instead.
