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 the puff pastry sheets at room temperature for about 30 minutes, until they are easy to unfold.
  • Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Roll out the puff pastry into a 12x18-inch rectangle. Cut it in half lengthwise and then into thirds, making six squares. Set aside.
  • Whisk 1 egg with 1 tablespoon of water for egg wash. In another bowl, mix the turbinado sugar with cinnamon and set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk pumpkin puree, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and the 2 eggs until smooth, then set aside.
  • Spoon the filling into the center of each pastry square. Fold over the edges diagonally to create a triangular turnover and seal edges with a fork.
  • Use a pastry brush and brush the turnovers with egg wash, then sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  • Bake 18–20 minutes, until puffed and golden brown. Cool before serving.

Notes

Chef Jenn’s Tips

  • Use a pizza cutter to cut the puff pastry evenly. It’s super fast and neat.
  • For extra bakery-style shine, give the turnovers a second egg wash halfway through baking.
  • Be sure your puff pastry stays cold while working; if it gets too warm, pop it back in the fridge for 5 minutes.
