PUMPKIN SLOPPY JOE HAND PIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment.
• Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shallots and bell pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until just softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the turkey, 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Cook, breaking up the turkey with a wooden spoon or spatula, until no longer pink, 5 to 6 minutes. Stir in the pumpkin puree, tomato paste, brown sugar and Greek yogurt until well combined. Transfer to a medium bowl and refrigerate to cool slightly while you prepare the dough.
• Meanwhile, roll out 1 pie crust into a 12-inch round with a rolling pin. Use a 4-inch pumpkin-shaped cutter to cut out 8 pumpkins, rerolling the scraps as needed. Divide the pumpkins between the prepared baking sheets (these are the bottom crusts). Repeat with the remaining sheet of pie dough, but do not transfer the cutouts to the baking sheets (these are the top crusts); set aside.
• Scoop 2 tablespoons of the turkey mixture into the center of each bottom crust leaving a generous border around the edges.
• Use your finger to dab the edges of the dough with water and top each with a top crust to completely cover the filling. Press down gently around the edges with your fingers to seal. Sprinkle with pumpkin pie seasoning and a pinch of salt. Cut three vertical slits in the top of each hand pie to resemble the ribs on a pumpkin.
• Bake until the crusts are golden brown, 15 to 18 minutes. Let cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving, about 5 minutes.

PUMPKIN PIE PARFAITS

Steps:

• Combine the pumpkin puree, cream cheese, brown sugar and 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice in a large bowl with an electric mixer until thoroughly combined, about 2 minutes.
• Whisk the heavy cream and confectioners' sugar in a second large bowl or in the bowl of a stand mixer with the whisk attachment, until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes.
• Layer the crushed graham crackers, pumpkin cream cheese mixture, and whipped cream in ten 8-ounce Mason jars. Repeat the layers until the jars are filled and contain at least 2 layers of each ingredient. Sprinkle a pinch of pumpkin pie spice over each parfait, if desired. Serve chilled.

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir ground beef and onion in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 7 to 8 minutes. Add bell pepper and garlic; cook and stir until tender, 2 to 3 more minutes.
• Add 1 cup beef broth, ketchup, mustard, brown sugar, salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and cayenne pepper; bring to a simmer. Add remaining 1 cup broth and reduce heat to low. Simmer until mixture becomes very thick, 30 to 45 minutes. Taste and adjust for salt, pepper, and cayenne as needed.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Whisk egg and water together in a small bowl.
• Roll out both pie crusts on a lightly floured surface and cut out six 5-inch circles. Place a slice of Cheddar cheese in the center of each circle and top with Sloppy Joe mixture. Fold dough and seal the edges using a fork. Brush the outsides with egg wash and place hand pies on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes.

• In a medium bowl, whisk together the pumpkin, sugar, 1 egg and spice. Lightly beat the remaining egg and set aside.
• On a lightly floured clear work surface, unroll pie crust. Cut 5 pumpkin shapes from each pie crust. Evenly space 5 pumpkin cut-outs onto parchment lined baking sheet. Evenly dollop the filling into the center of each of the 5 pumpkin cut-outs. Using a small pastry brush, brush the outside edge of each pumpkin on the baking sheet. Top each with a second pumpkin cut-out, using a fork to seal the edge. Brush tops with egg wash. Using a very sharp paring knife place a couple slashes into the top pie dough to vent.
• Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until browned and crispy and filling is hot. Remove and let cool on a wire rack. When pies have cooled, whisk together the confectioners' sugar with the maple syrup until smooth. Drizzle tops of pies with glaze and serve.
