Ingredients
Method
Make the Pie Crust
- In a mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Add cold butter and mix until crumbly.
- Gradually add ice water until the dough comes together. Divide into two discs, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Prepare the Filling
- In another bowl, mix pumpkin puree, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and vanilla until well combined.
Assemble the Hand Pies
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out one disc of dough on a floured surface to about 1/8 inch thick.
- Use a cookie cutter to cut out shapes for the pies. Place half of the shapes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Spoon a tablespoon of pumpkin filling onto each shape, leaving space around the edges.
- Top with remaining shapes, pressing edges to seal. Cut small slits for steam and brush with beaten egg.
Bake the Pies
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool before serving.
