Which Premade Pie Dough Should You Use for Your Halloween Pumpkin Pastries?
We’ve kept it simple with store-bought ingredients, because sometimes you just don’t have the time to make all that stuff yourself. A brand of premade pie dough to consider is Wholly Wholesome, which is organic and can be found at big stores like ShopRite. Pillsbury is a classic, and also easily available at most stores. Trader Joe’s also makes their own, which many have hailed as the best store-bought pie dough. Whatever you use, have fun with this recipe and don’t stress!

Halloween Pumpkin Pastries
Description
Cute and fun to make with the kids!
Ingredients
- 4 sheets premade pie dough
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 egg
- 1 tbsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1 egg, for brushing
- Googly eyes
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees
- Mix together pumpkin, sugar, vanilla, egg and spice. Mix until evenly incorporated.
- Cut pie dough into roughly 3” x 4” rectangles, reserving the scraps.
- Fill each rectangle with 2 tbsp filling and spread evenly, leaving 1/4 inch of the dough around all the edges.
- Cut pie dough scraps into thin strips. Brush the edges of the dough with egg wash and arrange the pie dough scraps on top of each filled rectangle. You want them to be overlapping and irregular to look like a “mummy.”
- Brush all the tops with egg wash and sprinkle with sugar or sprinkles.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes or until dough is golden brown. Give each pastry a set of google eyes!
