Ingredients  

  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 recipe pie dough (store bought works too)

Instructions 

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silpat mat.
  • In a small bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, brown sugar and pumpkin pie spice.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pie dough to 1/4-inch thick. Use a pumpkin cookie cutter to cut out about 20 pumpkin shapes. Use a paring knife to cut-out pumpkin faces in half of the pumpkin shapes.
  • Place one pumpkin (without any cut-outs) on a floured surface and place a heaping teaspoon of filling in the center. Use a spoon to spread the filling almost to the edges. Lightly dip your finger into water and rub the edge of the pumpkin dough shape with the water. Top with a cut-out pumpkin and lightly press the edges together to seal. Repeat with the remaining shapes and filling.
  • Place the tarts on your prepared baking sheet. Bake for 18 minutes, or until golden brown.
