Harry Potter Pumpkin Pasties

Yes, we are still going through the Harry Potter posts

today and I think I will continue it for the rest of the week.

I have found some really cool things to make in

regards to Harry Potter and I know there are

a lot of wizards and muggles out there that will appreciate it.

This makes 12 servings.

What you'll need:

2 ready made pie crusts

Filling:

1 cup pumpkin puree

⅓ cup brown sugar

2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice mix

1 egg

Egg Wash Topping

1 egg yolk

2 Tablespoons milk

¼ cup turbinado sugar

Create:

Preheat the oven to 400 F.

Line two baking sheets with parchment paper

or silicone baking mats.

In a large bowl, whisk the pumpkin puree, brown sugar,

spice mix, and egg until smooth. Set aside.

Roll out the prepared pie crust dough

until it is about ⅛” thick.

Using a biscuit cutter or a small bowl that is between

4” and 5” in diameter, cut circles out of the dough.

You should be able to get about 5 from each

pie crust, then you can re-roll the scraps to get a few more.

Place the pie crust circles on the prepared baking

sheet and place about 1 ½ tablespoons of

filling in the center of each one.

Using your finger, moisten the edges of each circle

with a small amount of water. Don’t drown the pie crust,

just get it slightly damp so it helps to make a seal.

Pick up two opposite edges of the pie crust circle

and bring them together at the top.

Think of how you would hold a taco!

This helps to keep the filling away from the

edges while you seal them. Then gently press the

edges together, starting at the top and working

your way down to the sides.

Lay the half circle back down on the

cookie sheet and use a fork to crimp seal the edges

together the rest of the way.

Repeat with the other hand pies.

Brush the top of each with the egg yolk

wash and sprinkle with coarse sugar.

Using a small sharp knife, cut a small lighting bolt

into the center of each hand pie to let steam out.

Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the

crust is golden brown.

Transfer to a wire rack to cool.

Enjoy!

Apple Ginger Fizz for Fall

The kids deserve a special drink for the fall besides apple cider. This is a great fall mocktail with a beautiful flavor combination. Not just for the kiddos. This makes 1 drink What you'll need: 3 oz still apple cider 1 oz freshly squeezed lime juice 6 mint leaves 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar Pinch powdered cinnamon 3 oz ginger ale Create: Place apple cider, lime juice, cinnamon, apple cider vinegar and a few ice cubes into a cocktail shaker. If you don't have a shaker, anything with a tight lid will work, such as a mason jar or drink bottle. Clap the mint together in your hands to release the scent, and add to the shaker. Shake for about 20-30 seconds until ingredients are combined. Pour into an ice filled glass and top with ginger ale. Stir gently, garnish with mint, dried citrus or a cinnamon stick, and serve.
