Pumpkin Turnovers are flaky, hand-held pastries filled with a warmly spiced pumpkin filling. They’re a delicious and easy fall treat made with puff pastry, perfect for breakfast, dessert, or a cozy snack.

Ingredients

  • 2 sheets puff pastry, thawed if frozen
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/8 tsp ground cloves or allspice
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 egg (for egg wash)
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar (optional, for glaze)
  • 1–2 tbsp milk or cream (optional, for glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, mix together pumpkin puree, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Unfold puff pastry sheets and cut each sheet into 4 equal squares.
  4. Place a spoonful of pumpkin filling in the center of each square. Fold into a triangle or rectangle and press edges with a fork to seal.
  5. Beat the egg and brush over the tops of turnovers.
  6. Place turnovers on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until golden and puffed.
  7. Optional: Mix powdered sugar with a little milk to form a glaze. Drizzle over cooled turnovers before serving.

Notes

  • Don’t overfill turnovers to prevent leaking during baking.
  • Seal edges well using a fork and egg wash for best results.
  • Let turnovers cool slightly before glazing.
  • Turnovers can be served warm or at room temperature.
