As soon as the crisp fall weather hit, I started craving all the warm comforting foods and spices I could get my tastebuds on. It’s the season of pumpkin, and one that lasts through the winter months, you just can’t beat the classic taste. At the same time, it’s a truly a busy time of year, with the change in seasons comes the change in routine and the holidays drawing near. Now is an time to rely on simple recipes that suit the schedule as much as it does the cravings.
I’m very excited to feature this Pumpkin Pie Turnovers with cream cheese frosting recipe, a dessert that I’ve developed in partnership with the Tenderflake Test Kitchen. The recipe really embodies convenience and ease when cooking at home, giving that delicious treat yet which doesn’t impede on time spent with loved ones.
Pumpkin Pie Turnovers is a recipe which takes only a few key ingredients, one being Tenderflake Rolled Puffed Pastry Sheets, easy-to-use flaky sheets of pastry made from simple ingredients developed to give that classic homemade taste. These are so handy to have on hand, I’ve made quite a few recipes with this product in the past and always appreciate the flavour and great quality.
To make Pumpkin Pie Turnovers simply follow the easy instructions below. You start with thawing both rolls of Tenderflake Rolled Puffed Pastry Sheets, as two come in a box. Cut each sheet into 4 large squares using a pizza cutter, making 8 in total. Then, combine the ingredients from the recipe card to make the pumpkin pie filling.
Drop about 2 tbsp of the pie filling onto each puffed pastry square, moisten the edges just a bit with water and fold into triangles. Then pinch the edges with a fork to seal in the goodness and brush with an egg wash to bring out that final golden crust look.
While the Pumpkin Pie Turnovers, made the mouthwatering cream cheese frosting and drizzle after the turnovers have baked and cooled somewhat.
The end result is is a dessert that is perfect for any occasion or no occasion at all. Pumpkin Pie Turnovers is a simple recipe that is so good, you’ll be torn on whether to enjoy them all yourself or share with others.
It’s a dessert which I’d choose in a coffee shop, made very easily from the comforts of home.
