These little individual Pumpkin Hand Pie desserts are cute, tasty and just the right size dessert for after that big Thanksgiving meal if you’re too full for a whole piece of pumpkin pie!
Or if you’re like me and love the buttery flakiness of pie crust just a little more than the pumpkin pie filling. then these are perfect! And the sugar sprinkles on top are a bonus.
My 16 year old decided she wanted to try her hand at a full on traditional Thanksgiving meal here at home and she knocked it out of the park. Everything from a whole roasted turkey, homemade noodles, mashed potatoes, homemade rolls, all the way down to 2 desserts – our family’s favorite apple crisp and these cute little Pumpkin Hand Pies.
She simply rolled out boughten pie dough, used a pumpkin cookie cutter, filled with a tablespoon or so of pumpkin pie filling, topped with another pumpkin pie crust cutout, crimped the edges with a fork and sprinkled with some sugar crystals for good luck!
They were a treat for the eyes and the mouth! A perfect little sweet dessert pumpkin dessert after the amazing traditional Thanksgiving meal she prepared!
Individual Pumpkin Hand Pie
These are so fun for kids to make and adults actually. I also think they are the perfect treat for those who like pumpkin pie but prefer the crust to pie filling ratio to be more crust……like me!
I cannot tell a lie, I am a boughten pie crust baker!
Which makes this recipe all that much easier and so fun for little kids to help in the kitchen!
But I am a firm believer in at least knowing how to make homemade pie crust and I love that I have my Great Grandmothers recipe.
