Yield: about 9-5" pies

 

Filling Ingredients:

1   cup canned pumpkin

1   cup firmly packed brown sugar

1   tablespoon butter

1   teaspoon ground cinnamon

1   teaspoon pumpkin pie spice*

1/4   cup chopped pecans


Crust Ingredients: 

2 1/2   cups all-purpose flour

2   tablespoons sugar

1   teaspoon salt

1   cup cold butter

8   to 10 tablespoons cold water

 

Glaze Ingredients:

1   egg

1   teaspoon water

 

Decoration Ingredients:

Sprinkles or sugar crystals

 

Combine pumpkin, brown sugar, 1 tablespoon butter, cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice in 2-quart saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture is thickened (8 to 12 minutes). Cool completely (45 to 60 minutes). Stir in pecans.

Heat oven to 400°F. Combine flour, sugar and salt in medium bowl; cut in 1 cup butter with pastry blender or fork until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in enough water until flour is just moistened.

Divide dough in half. Roll out dough on lightly floured surface, one-half at a time (keeping remaining dough refrigerated), to about 1/8-inch thickness. Cut with 2 1/2-inch round cookie cutter. Place rounded 1/2 teaspoon filling in center of each circle. Fold one side of circle over other to form crescent-shaped empanaditas. Pinch together lightly to seal. Place onto ungreased cookie sheet; press edges together with tines of fork to seal.

Whisk together egg and 1 teaspoon water in small bowl. Brush egg mixture lightly over tops of empanadas; repeat. Sprinkle with decorator sugar. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until lightly browned.

Calories570kcal


INGREDIENTS

CAKE:
1½ cups granulated white sugar
¾ cup (1½ sticks) salted butter, at room temperature
¾ cup unsweetened pumpkin puree
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1½ cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
⅛ teaspoon ground cloves
⅓ cup buttermilk
½ cup finely chopped pecans (optional)
GLAZE:
2 cups powdered sugar, sifted
½ cup butterscotch or caramel syrup
1 to 2 tablespoons milk
flaky sea salt, (optional)


INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 10-inch cast-iron skillet.

MAKE THE CAKE:

In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to combine the sugar and butter until they are well mixed. Mix in the pumpkin, eggs and vanilla.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flours, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until combined. Add the buttermilk and mix until incorporated. Stir in the pecans (if using). Scrape the batter evenly into the prepared skillet and smooth the top. Bake 40 to 45 minutes, or until the center is set (a toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean). Let the cake cool completely in the skillet.

ADD THE GLAZE:

In a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, syrup and 1 tablespoon of milk. If the mixture is too thick, add another teaspoon or more of milk. It should be of thick "drizzling" consistency.

Drizzle the glaze onto the cake in the skillet. Save the extra glaze (in a covered container) to add extra drizzle to individual servings. If you're into adding sea salt, sprinkle it on top!
