Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 2 sheets puff pastry thawed
  • 14.5 ounce pumpkin puree
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon turbinado sugar

Instructions
 

  • Thaw puff pastry sheets at room temperature for about 30 minutes, until easy to unfold.
  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Roll each sheet of puff pastry into a 12 x 18-inch rectangle. Cut in half lengthwise, then into thirds, making 6 squares per sheet.
  • In a bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and 2 eggs until smooth.
  • In a small bowl, whisk 1 egg with 1 tablespoon of water to make an egg wash. In another bowl, mix cinnamon with turbinado sugar.
  • Place filling in the center of each pastry square. Fold diagonally into a triangle and seal edges with a fork.
  • Brush turnovers with egg wash and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.
  • Bake 18–20 minutes, until puffed and golden brown. Cool on a rack before serving.

Notes

Chef Jenn’s Tips

  • A pizza cutter is the fastest way to portion puff pastry evenly.
  • For extra shine, add a second light coat of egg wash halfway through baking.
  • Keep puff pastry cold while working with it—if it softens, pop it back in the fridge for 5 minutes.
