Sweet pumpkin pie recipe

These small pumpkin hand pies are made with fresh pumpkin, raisins, walnuts and warm spices. Crispy and delicate, is a great choice!


Prep Time: 30 mins Cook Time: 1 hr Total Time: 1 hr 30 mins
Course: Dessert Servings: 8

Ingredients:

For the Filling
●3 ½ cups Grated Fresh Pumpkin (Squeezed to remove any excess water)
●1/2 cup Finely Chopped Walnuts (or Pecans)
●1 cup Dried Raisins (or Dried Cranberries)
●Orange Zest (from one Orange)
●1 tbsp Ground Cinnamon
●1/2 tsp Ground Cloves
●1/2 tsp Ground Nutmeg
●1/4 tsp Ground Ginger
●1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
●1/4 cup Dark Brown Sugar
●1/4 tsp Kosher Salt

For the Phyllo Dough
●8 sheets Phyllo Dough
●1/2 cup Unsalted Butter (Melted or Olive oil)
●2 tbsp Sesame Seeds

*tsp=teaspoon *tbsp=tablespoon

For the Toppings (Optional)
●Cinnamon
●Powdered Sugar (or Honey)

Instructions:

For the Filling
01. Cut and peel the pumpkin. Remove the seeds.
02. Grate the pumpkin and place inside a bowl.
03. Wrap the freshly shredded pumpkin into a kitchen towel and twist. Squeeze out as much water as possible.
04. In a big bowl add the squeezed shredded pumpkin, chopped walnuts, raisins and orange zest.
05. Add the ground cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, ginger, sugar and salt and stir all together with a spoon till every ingredient is incorporated.
06. Dispose any excess liquid at the bottom of the bowl.

For the Phyllo Dough
01. Preheat the oven to 350F (180C).
02. Melt the butter in a saucepan or microwave and brush the bottom of two (33x23 cm) baking pans with some of the melted butter.
03. Spread the phyllo sheets carefully on the kitchen counter and drizzle some of the melted butter on top of the first phyllo using a brush. Do not touch the phyllo dough with the brush.
04. Add about three tablespoons of the filling lengthwise to the phyllo dough and spread it using a spoon. Leave about 2 inches (5 cm) from the bottom and each side of the phyllo.
05. Fold the bottom part of the phyllo dough and wrap into a log. Twist the end loosely and roll into a spiral shape.
06. Brush some melted butter on top and sprinkle with some sesame seeds.
07. Place the Greek pumpkin hand pie into the pan. Attach the loose side of the pie to the baking pan. This way while baking the filling will remain in place.
08. Continue the same procedure for the remaining hand pies.
09. Place 4 pies on each baking pan and bake for 50-60 minutes or till golden brown and crispy. Alter the baking pans halfway.
10. Remove from the oven and let them completely cool.
11. Dust some powdered sugar and cinnamon or drizzle some honey.

Notes:
●Place phyllo dough in refrigerator overnight to thaw. Allow at least one hour to stand at room temperature before using. This will result to every phyllo sheet to come off easily. Advise the instructions written on the back of your phyllo dough package for more details.
●The pumpkin I used weighed around 710 grams before squeezing.
●Work fast with the filling because the longer it sits in the bowl it releases extra liquids. Same applies to the phyllo dough because it tends to dry fast as soon as you unwrap it.
●Drizzle the melted butter instead of spreading it with a brush. This results to a dessert with more volume and a crunchier texture when baked.
●Fold loosely each hand pie otherwise not all parts will be baked evenly (especially the center).
●Note that all ovens bake differently, so yours may take a little less or a little more time to bake.
●The more excess water you remove the quicker the hand pie will be baked. If there is a lot of moisture you might need to bake for up to 1 hour and 10 minutes.

Enjoy!
