They're like little pumpkin pies with super flaky crusts.
Easy Pumpkin Turnovers
3/4 c or so pumpkin purée
1/4 t cinnamon
pinch nutmeg
pinch clove
pinch all spice
1 T brown sugar
1 sheet of puff pastry, thawed
flour
1 egg beaten with a little water
Preheat oven to 400 F. Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silcon pad.
Mix the pumpkin purée with the spices & sugar. Taste & adjust to your preference.
Roll the puff pastry out on a lightly floured surface until its about 1/8 inch thick. Cut into 9 squares.
Put a tablespoon or so of the pumpkin mixture in the center of each square. Use your finger or a brush to put a little of the egg wash around the edge of the squares. Fold over to form a triangle & press to seal shut. I like to also fold the edges up a little to really seal them. Brush the tops with more of the egg wash. (You can sprinkle with a little more sugar if you want.) Cut a slit into the top of each turnover with a sharp knife.
Refrigerate until ready to bake.
Bake for 15 minutes. Turn the heat down to 350 F & bake until gold brown, about 10 more minutes.
Serve warm with whip cream.
Makes 9 small turnovers.

I've never made turnovers before, but they seem so easy!
I can do this! I must do this! SU'd. :)
How cute is he!
I bet these turnovers were great- a fabulous idea girl. But then you are the good idea girl.
Perfect use of leftovers, if I do say so myself! LOL!
Someone looks like he's going to enjoy his turnover with whipped cream. Don't blame him, they look wonderful.
I want a turnover too! Pumpkin is my favorite. :D
What a smart idea. And good use of leftovers transformed into something different. Very clever.
Love the picture of your little boy, too. The smile on his face is just priceless.
My husband is originally from India and will LOVE the "Chai-Spiced Pumpkin Cake." Great! I may just do this for Thanksgiving dinner.
What a great idea for that leftover pumpkin puree! I have got to try this!
He looks like he's gonna have some GREAT dessert tonight! So cute! I like the idea of being able to make this ahead and warm up right before serving. This is a very creative recipe.
Don't you love a dessert that comes together in just a matter of minutes? Plus, it's a great way to use leftovers.
I can think of a half-dozen ways to use this recipe, including holidays, breakfast, dessert, maybe some minis for a dessert table... Great thinking, Kat!
