Description

Mini empanadas stuffed with pumpkin pie filling! Great dipped in whipped cream or served with some vanilla ice cream.

Ingredients

  • 1 box Refrigerated Pie Crusts (box Should Include 2 Pie Crusts)
  • 1 whole (15oz) Can Pumpkin
  • 2 teaspoons Pumpkin Pie Spice
  • ½ teaspoons Salt
  • ¼ cups Cream Cheese, Softened
  • 2 whole Eggs
  • ¾ cups Brown Sugar
  • 1 whole Egg, Beaten With A Bit Of Water - For Egg Wash (Optional)

Preparation

Lay your pie crusts out on your work surface. Using a 3 inch biscuit cutter cut out pie rounds from the pie crust. You should get 8 per pie crust.

Mix all the other ingredients (except the egg wash ingredients) to form the filling. Mix well.

Place about 1/2 tablespoon of filling in the center of each pie round. Then dip your finger in water and rub along the edges of the pie round.

Then fold the pie crust in half. Then with a fork crimp the open edge of the pie crust to seal it.

Spray with cooking spray or brush with egg wash and bake at 425 degrees (F) for 15 minutes.

I made these over the weekend and something went horribly wrong. They looked so easy but I had to have missed something somewhere. My filling was like water. It made it almost impossible to fold the pie crust in half and crimp the open edge without losing all of the filling.
What I found surprising was that I had a full casserole dish of filling left over that I promptly baked and we ate it with a spoon. The filling had a delicious flavor but it just didn’t work for filling the pie crust.

Any ideas as to what I did wrong?

These look scrumptious! I want to try these substituting sweet potato for the pumpkin! ;)
