Ingredients

1 cup pumpkin puree not filling
¼ cup brown sugar
¼ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
4 ounce cream cheese
2 large eggs divided
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 box refrigerated pie crust or puff pastry
Lollipop sticks
1 tablespoon turbinado sugar - for sprinkling on top

Instructions

Get out and measure all of your ingredients.
Preheat the oven to 400° and make sure the oven rack is on the middle rung. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and spray the parchment paper with nonstick cooking spray.
In a mixing bowl combine pumpkin puree, brown sugar, salt, and pumpkin pie spice.
In a mixing bowl combine pumpkin puree, brown sugar, salt, and pumpkin pie spice.
Pour pumpkin mixture into a small saucepan and over medium-high heat stir and cook till filling thickens about 6-8 minutes.
Remove from heat and add in cream cheese, 1 egg lightly beaten, and vanilla extract.
Mix well.
Set aside.
Take your chilled pie crust, roll out and cut out pumpkin shapes and place on parchment paper.
Place all cut outs on prepared baking sheet. Next cut out the tops of the pumpkins and with a small sharp knife cut small triangles for the eyes and a simple smile or toothy grin for the mouth.
Add a small spoon of filling to the middle of the pumpkin cut out.
Place popsicle sticks in the center of each pumpkin so that the stick is halfway up each pumpkin and the longest portion of the stick is coming out of the bottom of the pumpkin.
Place the tops on the pies.
Use a fork and press around the edges of each pie to crimp and seal the edges.
Brush tops with beaten egg and sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
Place in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the cookie sheet. Use a spatula to lift the pies and place in a glass canning jar full of sugar to display.
Serve and enjoy every bite.

Notes

Tips:

Make sure you place the popsicle sticks before you bake.
Be sure to get pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling.
Use room temperature eggs and cream cheese.
Dough is easier to work with when it is cold.
You can cut little eyes and a mouth into the pie crust tops, or after the pie pops are baked and cooled you can use black icing and paint the eyes and mouth on the tops.
