Ingredients
  

  • 2 rolls refrigerated pie dough

  • ½ cup lightly packed light brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 large egg

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. Unroll the prepared pie dough on a lightly floured surface.
  3. Using a 2-inch cookie cutter, cut out as many pumpkin shapes (or circles or squares) as you can.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, maple syrup, and pumpkin pie spice.
  5. Place 1.5 teaspoons of the pumpkin filling into the center of one of the shapes.
  6. Then, place another dough shape on top and crimp the edges with a fork to seal it.
  7. Beat the egg with a splash of water until smooth.
  8. Brush this egg wash over the sealed pies for that beautiful, shiny finish.
  9. If you wish, sprinkle the sealed pies with coarse sugar for an added sweet crunch.
  10. Place the filled pies on a parchment or silpat-lined baking sheet and bake for 12 to 14 minutes or until the pies are golden brown.
  11. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
