📝 Ingredients

👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. 2
    In a medium bowl, combine pumpkin puree, brown sugar, granulated sugar, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves. Mix well. Stir in melted butter and vanilla extract. Whisk in cornstarch until smooth.
  3. 3
    Unfold thawed puff pastry sheet onto a lightly floured surface. Gently roll it out to smooth creases and make it slightly thinner, about 10x12 inches.
  4. 4
    Cut the pastry sheet into 6 equal rectangles. Spoon about 1 to 1.5 tablespoons of pumpkin filling onto one half of each rectangle, leaving a small border.
  5. 5
    Fold the empty half of the pastry over the filling, creating a pocket. Use the tines of a fork to crimp and seal the edges firmly. Cut 2-3 small slits on top of each turnover.
  6. 6
    Place turnovers on the prepared baking sheet. Brush tops with egg wash and sprinkle with granulated sugar.
  7. 7
    Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until deeply golden brown and puffed. Transfer to a wire rack to cool slightly before serving.

💡 Notes

Ensure puff pastry is cold but pliable for best results. Do not overfill the turnovers. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for up to 4 days. Reheat gently in an oven or toaster oven.
