I’m not sure whether to call these cookies, pastry, pies, tarts or just plain dessert. Since preparing these for my daughters 4th grade class they have been given all of those titles, and with flying colors. I did give out a few copies of the recipe too.
Note, I had prepared this post Thanksgiving week and just realized that it was still in my unpublished file! I must have been half asleep when I started it. Anyway, here is the original post link and this is how easy it is to prepare these… Original source: Three Baking Sheets to the Wind
Pumpkin Pie Pockets, How I prepared them:
Ingredients:
- ½ baked Pumpkin Pie (can be crust-less, you only use the filling)
- 2 – 3 Pie Crusts (I used Pillsbury refrigerated pie crusts)*
- 1 egg white, lightly beaten
Directions:
Pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees. Roll out the crust and cut 2 – 4” circles with a glass or cookie cutter. Place 1 rounded tablespoon (see note) of pie in the center of the circle and fold over. Use a fork to close edges and a small sharp knife to cut a couple of decorative vent holes. Place them on a coated baking sheet then brush the tops with egg white and sprinkle with sugar (if desired).
Bake for 8 – 10 minutes. Tops of pies will brown slightly. Remove and let cool completely, store in refrigerator.
*Each crust will make about 17 – 2 inch pies.
Note: originally I posted to use 1 – 2 teaspoons of filling. A more accurate amount would be a rounded tablespoon. You want to have enough filling to enjoy, but not so much it oozes out when you seal the edges!

We have something like this in Asia which is spicy and is called curry puff. It usually has chicken and potato as a filling and is spicy. There are 2 versions. It’s either deep fried or baked.
Your creation looks scrumptious. I love pumpkin. Never had pumpkin pie before.

These are beautiful! They look much more complicated than they actually are – I was surprised to see only three ingredients! Great recipe. Love the idea.
Ms. H said:
Question – is the first ingredient a pie that is 1/2 baked, or half of a fully baked pie?

looks delicious!

Definitely a baked pie, just about half of the filling.

My son’s two favorite pies are sweet potato and pumpkin. He will love this! I will make these for him and further ensure that even when he’s grown and married, he will always come to visit! Food is definitely the way to his heart. 🙂
Thanks for sharing this (and it looks like you have plenty other things I would love to try, too!).

You have leftover pumpkin pie at your house? Sorry, I digressed. Could you just bake some filling and then put that into the pasty shell?
orangemarkers said:
yooooooooomiiieeeeeeee
laurelg1 said:
Yes, you can bake the filling – because you won’t be using the crust from the pie….

Gorgeous looking treats ’cause, of course, presentation is everything.
My great-aunt used to make pumpkin empanadas that look similar to yours, though hers weren’t as pretty. Or as tasty, I’ll bet.
I’ve been meaning to make some for a looong time but hadn’t had the courage… till I came across your recipe just now.
Perfectimundo… until I get my wings to make ’em the old-fashioned way.
Someday.
Maybe.

I was thinking the same thing, Evie! They look so good… I will definitely be making these Christmas morning 🙂

nice blog 😀
hadasdepapel said:
Wow! I’ll try to prepare them this afternoon. In Spain we call the pies with this shape “empanadillas”. Empanadillas are filled with a lot of ingredients, depending on the preparation – sweet or salty. We have empanadillas filled with meat, tuna, quince and cheese…but I will taste this with pumpkin, it sounds delicious!
Greetings from Spain

workingtechmom said:
These look great. Do you think it will work for berry pies too? If you haven’t tried that, I’ll try it and let you know. My son says everyone loves toddler food – food you can eat with your hands.
Congrats on being freshly pressed! Keep blogging.

Miss H said:
I personally don’t fancy them because I am not the biggest pastry fan, but the way you wrote that was so easy to follow. All the instructions were clear and straight to the point. Also great photos.

A great idea for leftover pie… a second life if you will.

Fabulous idea. I ahve made something very similar with plum jam in the middle- gives a nice tang to the pastry. Thanks for the idea!

I just made a homemade pumpkin pie yesterday, and I happened to have leftovers of both pie dough and pumpkin pie filling, so I just might try to make these with the leftovers.
Thanks for sharing the recipe!

I know you wrote this a while ago… just saw it on Pinterest. Do you really only use 1-2 teaspoons per mini pie, or was it supposed to be Tablespoons?
Thanks! They look great!
laurelg1 said:
Hey, thanks, It’s been a while since I made these, but yes, I believe that should say tablespoons – I will correct it, thank you! But to make it easy, a rounded tablespoon would be the best.
