Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C), positioning the oven rack in the center.
2
Thaw one sheet of frozen puff pastry for approximately 30 minutes until it's flexible yet still cold.
3
In a mixing bowl, combine the canned pumpkin, light brown sugar, cinnamon, ground cloves, ground ginger, and ground nutmeg. Mix until well combined and set aside.
4
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the thawed puff pastry to about 1/16-inch thick. Cut the rolled pastry into four large circles.
5
Using your fingertips or a clean pastry brush, carefully brush the edges of each pastry circle with the beaten egg to create a seal.
6
Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the pumpkin filling into the center of each circle.
7
Fold the pastry circles in half to enclose the filling and press the edges to seal tightly. Use a fork dipped in cold water to crimp the edges for a decorative finish.
8
Brush the tops of the pasties with the remaining beaten egg and sprinkle a little granulated sugar on top for extra sweetness.
9
Arrange the pasties on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
