Easy Pumpkin Pull-Apart Pie Dessert Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 packages refrigerated pie dough I used Pillsbury
- 1 cup pumpkin pie filling
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a round 8-9 inch cake pan with parchment paper.
- On a work surface, spread out the pie dough.
- Using a 2-inch round cookie cutter (or similarly sized water glass), cut as many circles as possible from the dough.
- Using scissors, snip halfway through each circle to the center.
- Spread about a half teaspoon of pumpkin pie filling onto each circle. Curl the circle into a rose petal cone shape. Repeat for remaining circles.
- Arrange the pieces sticking up in a circular pattern in the prepared pan.
- Brush with optional beaten egg, and then bake for 12-15 minutes until the edges turn golden.
- Serve in the pan, or use a spatula to get beneath the parchment and lift the pie up onto a serving plate.
