About these

I’m far from a professional baker. I’ve been around enough of them to know better. That said, I don’t have many misses in the kitchen. Not major, inedible, unusable ones.

This recipe, which started as something else, met all three criteria. Call it a disaster of the trifecta order.

Fortunately, it ended at the other end of the culinary spectrum : with these cinnamon pumpkin pie poppers.  A gorgeous mistake, of sorts.

I suppose it’s hard to screw up too badly with anything that ends up tasting like a pumpkin pie. When it’s your own personal bite size pumpkin pie, even better.

These Cinnamon Pumpkin Pie Poppers took me completely by surprise. As an alternative to what I originally intended, I was only hoping they would be satisfactory to share with you, our reader.

Turns out, they are not only satisfactory, they are something that I want you to try.

Easy, yet elegant and fancy enough for a party or special event, they are also super simple to make.

A sheet or two of some store-bought puff pastry, a can of packed pumpkin, along a few other ordinary pantry staples and a muffin pan; that’s all it takes!

If all of my flops in the kitchen turned out this wonderful, I would take my kitchen endeavors far less seriously.
