Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 4 oz cream cheese
  • 2 eggs divided
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 sheet refrigerated pie crust or puff pastry 14 oz

  • Insert a popsicle stick into the center of each pumpkin shape, with the stick halfway up and the long end hanging out.
  • Add a spoonful of filling into each pumpkin cutout.
  • Cut small triangles for eyes and a mouth to create a jack-o'-lantern face on the pumpkin tops.
  • Place the tops on the filled pumpkins, pressing edges with a fork to seal.
  • Brush the tops with the remaining beaten egg and sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
  • Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden. Cool on the sheet, then display in a jar of sugar for a festive look.
