Ingredients
- ½ cup of pumpkin puree
- 4 oz of cream cheese softened
- 4 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 ½ tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ½ cup of sugar
- ¼ cup of water
- 2 whole eggs beaten
Instructions
- Remove the puff pastry dough from the freezer and let it thaw.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F.
- Prepare the filling by combining the softened cream cheese, pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and brown sugar in a bowl.
- Once your puff pastry dough is thawed, unfold the sheet.
- Cut both sheets into nine even squares, giving you a total of 18 squares.
- Add about a tablespoon of filling to each square.
- Beat an egg in a bowl and brush the egg wash on the outer portion of the squares.
- Fold each square to form a triangle.
- Brush the top of the triangles with egg wash and place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for 12-15 minutes until they are golden brown.
- While the pastelito (puff pastries) are in the oven, combine the sugar and water in a medium sauce pot.
- Place the pot over medium-high heat and continuously stir until all the sugar is dissolved and the mixture comes to a boil.
- Remove from the heat and set aside.
- Once the pastelito (puff pastries) are out of the oven, brush the top of them with the sugary syrup.
- Serve and enjoy!
