Servings: 8

Ingredients:

• 15 oz of canned pure pumpkin
• 1 1/2 cup sugar
• 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
• 2 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tsp cornstarch
• 3/4 cup of apple juice
• 12 tbsp of butter (melted)
• 1 cup of sugar
• 1/4 cup of molasses
• 1 egg
• 2 tsp of baking soda
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 3 cups of flour

Instructions:

1. In a medium-sized saucepan, add the pumpkin, 1 1/2 cups of sugar, 2 tsp of pumpkin spice, and 2 tsp of cinnamon. Whisk together until fully mixed. In a small bowl, add the cornstarch and apple juice and mix until the cornstarch is dissolved.
2. Add the cornstarch mixture to the pan and whisk until well combined. Cook over medium heat, bring to a boil, then simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and let it cool.
3. In a large bowl, add the melted butter and 1 cup of sugar. Beat using a hand mixer until it becomes thick, about 2-3 minutes. Add the molasses and egg, and continue beating until well mixed.
4. Add the baking soda, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, salt, and flour. Beat using the hand mixer until everything is fully combined. You may need to add a little more flour until you can pinch a piece of the dough off and it doesn’t stick to your fingers.
5. Place the dough in the fridge for 30 minutes. Once done, preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly flour your surface and roll the dough out to about 1/4 inch thick. Use a cookie cutter or cup to cut out circles for the pumpkin shapes. Flatten the top slightly so it’s not a perfect circle, making it look more like a pumpkin.
6. Ensure you have two pieces for each cookie: the bottom, which is bare, and the top, which will have the face. Take half of the pumpkin-shaped cookie dough and use a sharp knife to cut out triangle eyes and a mouth.
7. Carefully lift the leftover dough out of the eyes and mouth and discard. Take 1 tbsp of the cooled filling and place it in the center of the bare, faceless cookie. Carefully lift the cut-out face cookie and lay it evenly over the top of the filling. Gently press the sides of the cookie with your finger to seal it. Repeat with all the others.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-13 minutes, making sure the middle nose area isn’t raw (it may cook slower). Let cool on a cooling rack for 10 minutes after they’ve rested on the baking sheet. Serve and enjoy!

• 1/8 cup (25g) brown sugar
• 1/8 cup (25g) granulated sugar
• 4 tablespoons (60g) unsalted butter
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
• A pinch of salt
• Confectioners sugar, for serving

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Use a round baking pan or oven-proof skillet about 9 inches in diameter.

3. Melt the butter in the pan over medium heat. Add both sugars, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Stir until the sugars dissolve and the mixture starts to bubble.

4. Arrange the apple wedges tightly in a circular pattern in the pan. Cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes until the apples are tender and caramelized, being careful not to burn the caramel.

5. While the apples caramelize, roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and cut into 6 even rectangles.

6. Let the caramelized apples cool for a few minutes.

7. Place 1 sheet of butter on the baking sheet, add 4 slices of caramelized apple, then place the puff pastry on top. Press the edges down with a fork.

8. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden and puffed.

9. Let the tart cool for a few minutes after removing it from the oven. Carefully flip the tart onto a plate, being cautious as the caramel and pan will be hot.

10. Dust the tart with confectioners’ sugar.

11. Serve warm or at room temperature, ideally with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
