Ingredients
For the Dough:
2 ready-made pie crusts (or homemade if you’re feeling fancy)
1 egg (for egg wash, optional)
For the Sweet Filling:
2 cups mashed sweet potatoes (roasted or boiled)
½ cup brown sugar
2 tsp pumpkin pie spice (or mix cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves)
1 tsp vanilla extract
¼ tsp salt
1 tbsp maple syrup (optional, for extra depth)
Optional Savory Twist:
½ cup canned black beans, drained
¼ cup crumbled feta
½ tsp cumin
Chopped green onions or herbs (like thyme)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix filling: In a bowl, combine mashed sweet potatoes, sugar, spices, vanilla, salt, and maple syrup. For savory version, stir in beans, feta, and cumin.
Roll out dough and cut into circles (3–4 inches wide).
Add 1–2 tbsp filling to each circle. Fold over and press edges with a fork to seal.
Brush with egg wash (or milk for vegan version) and poke small vents on top.
Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool slightly before serving.
Optional: Drizzle with maple glaze (powdered sugar + maple syrup) or dust with cinnamon sugar.
