Calories 71kcal
Cost 15 gold
Equipment
- Cookie Cutter (we used a pumpkin shape)
Ingredients
Filling
- 1 15 oz can pumpkin puree
- ⅔ cup milk
- ⅓ cup white sugar
- ⅓ cup packed brown sugar
- 1 tbsp corn starch
- ¼ cup flour
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ½ tsp nutmeg
Crust
- 2 9-inch pre-made pie doughs
- sprinkle of brown sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 °F (175 °C)
- Mix all the filling ingredients in a bowl and set in the fridge for 30 minutes to chill and thicken slightly. If the filling is still very runny you can try adding more corn starch, or partially freeze the mixture.
- On a floured surface, flatten your pie dough to be very thin and cut out an even number of shapes from the dough.
- Lay one half of the shapes on a greased baking sheet and use a spoon to depress a small indent in the center
- Spoon a dollop of filling onto each shape then top with the other half of the shapes. Use a fork to pinch the edges down and seal the filling inside. If filling squeezes out try reducing the amount you dollop on, or just run wild and then wipe up the spillage.
- Sprinkle a dash of brown sugar on top of each pie
- Bake for at least 25 minutes. Then check for the edges to be slightly browning and the center of the tops of the dough to be crusted instead of soft. If they aren't yet, continue to cycle baking for 5 minutes and checking until done.
- Let cool, and pack for the road to your next adventure!
Notes
The crunching of leaves on the road towards the nearby village tells you autumn is in full swing. Fresh after clearing out the ghosts from the nearby run-down mansion, your adventuring party stops by to collect your pay for the quest and travel on. Villagers are busy setting up for the Fall Festival as you smell a sweet pumpkin aroma on the wind. In the tavern where you collect your pay, you spot these delicious looking hand pies leaving the oven. Needing something to snack on as you hit the road, you buy some of these gooey pies for now, or later, or both. Filled with pumpkin, spices, and with a sugary crust, they make the chill air on the open road feel a little bit warmer.
