    Why you'll love these pumpkin hand pies

    • All-Butter Pie Crust: My go-to all butter pie dough that creates an ultra flaky, tender crust that's perfect with any pie filling. 
    • Maple Pumpkin Butter: Stonewall Kitchen's Maple Pumpkin Butter is the essence of fall. Its concentrated pumpkin flavor married with warm spices and sweet maple is incredibly delicious on its own, but also makes for the perfect hand pie filling!
    • Cinnamon Sugar Topping: This sweet, cinnamony topping not only tastes amazing, but also makes these little hand pies so beautiful!

    Ingredient Notes

    Ingredient quantities are listed in the recipe card below. Here you'll find notes on why I chose certain ingredients, as well as ingredient substitutions.

    ingredients for pie dough.
    For the pie crust
    ingredients for hand pies.
    For the filling & topping
    • Flour: Weigh your flour! Homemade pie dough is very simple, so long as everything is measured precisely!
    • Salt: Use kosher salt, not table salt.
    • Butter: Since there are so few ingredients in pie dough, it gets all of its flavor from the butter, so be sure to use high-quality unsalted butter.
    • Ice Water: Pie must be cold at all times, so it's important that the water is iced!
    • Maple Pumpkin Butter: The true star of the show - Stonewall Kitchen's Maple Pumpkin Butter.
    • Egg Wash: Beat one egg with one tablespoon of water, and brush on top of the hand pies before baking to help them brown evenly.
    • Cinnamon Sugar: Add a generous sprinkling of cinnamon sugar on each hand pie before baking.

    Step by Step Instructions

    This hand pie recipe is very simple, but does require a little bit of technique and some chill time. Follow the steps closely and you'll be rewarded with 8 delicious maple pumpkin hand pies!

    Expert Baking Tips

    • For more detailed step by step instructions see homemade pie dough.
    • If you have vodka on hand, you can add a tablespoon or two to the pie dough before the water. You'll end up adding less water, so still pay close attention to the hydration level. Vodka does not develop the gluten as much, which makes it perfect for hydrating pie dough and creating a super tender pie crust!
    • The most important thing with making pie crust is to always keep the dough cold at all steps. So use ice cold water and cold butter, and any time you touch the dough you should put it back in the fridge for at least 20 minutes.

    Recipe FAQs

    How to make pie crust flaky:

    Cut cold cubed butter into the flour until quarter sized pieces are left. Roll the chilled pie dough out into a rough rectangle, then fold it into quarters. Chill for a few minutes, then repeat. This series of rolling and folding creates layers and layers of butter and dough. When the pie dough is baked, the butter creates steam and pushes the layers of dough upwards, creating an ultra flaky, buttery crust!

    Can I use store-bought pie dough?

    Of course! You can use store-bought pie dough or puff pastry.

    Storage Tips

    Store these hand pies in an air-tight container at room temperature for 2-3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.

    Baking in Grams

    All of the recipes on this blog are carefully developed with gram measurements so you can easily recreate them in your own kitchen with success. Volume measurements are extremely inaccurate and leave room for significant errors. Not all measuring cups are made equally, so your one cup of flour will be different from my one cup of flour. By providing precise measurements in grams (aside from minor ingredients, which are given in tsp/tbsp), you can make these recipes accurately and with less cleanup! All you need is this kitchen scale. 

    If this still isn't enough to convince you, I have provided volume measurements in the recipe card. If you are interested in understanding the conversions, this is the best conversion chart.

    But trust me, once you try baking in grams you'll never turn back!

    Happy baking! x

    Ingredients

    For the pie dough:

    • 200 g 1 â…” cup all-purpose flour
    • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
    • 140 g 10 tablespoon unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
    • ½ cup ice water

    For the filling & topping: 

    • 1 jar Maple Pumpkin Butter
    • Egg wash, 1 egg + 1 tablespoon water
    • 50 g ¼ cup granulated sugar
    • ¾ teaspoon cinnamon

    Instructions

    For the pie dough:

    • In a medium bowl combine the flour and salt.
    • Cut the cold butter into cubes and toss in the flour.  
    • Using your fingers, cut the butter into the dry ingredients until pea sized pieces are left.  
    • Add a couple tablespoon of water, then toss with your hands to combine. 
    • Continue adding very small amounts of water until the dough can hold together, but is not overly wet.
    • Wrap the dough tightly in plastic wrap, then chill for one hour.
    • On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out into a rough rectangle, fold in half, then again into quarters.
    • Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill for another 30 minutes. 
    • Roll the dough out again into a rough rectangle and repeat the folding process.
    • Shape the dough into a disk, wrap tightly in plastic wrap, and chill overnight. 

    For assembly:

    • Just before rolling out the dough, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. 
    • Roll the dough out to â…›" in thickness. 
    • Use a 3" round cutter to cut out as many circles as possible. Re-roll and cut out more circles as needed. 
    • Place the circles on a separate parchment lined small baking sheet. 
    • On half of the pie dough circles, add about 1 tablespoon of the maple pumpkin butter.
    • Use a sharp knife to cut slits in the top pie dough circles.
    • Place the top circles on top and gently press the edges together, then use a fork to seal the edges. 
    • Chill the assembled hand pies in the fridge for about 15 minutes. 
    • Transfer the hand pies to the large baking sheet, then brush each with the egg wash. 
    • In a small bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon, and sprinkle on top of each hand pie. 
    • Bake for about 16-18 minutes until evenly golden. 
    • Allow to cool completely on the baking sheet.

    Notes

    • For more detailed step by step instructions see homemade pie dough.
    • If you have vodka on hand, you can add a tablespoon or two to the pie dough before the water. You'll end up adding less water, so still pay close attention to the hydration level.
