Ingredients

For the dough

  • 275 g flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice mix
  • 150 g light muscovado sugar
  • 125 g pumpkin puree
  • 1 egg
  • 125 ml vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the maple cream filling

  • 200 g full-fat cream cheese
  • 100 g unsalted butter, soften
  • 2 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 120 g icing sugar

Instructions

To make the dough

  • Sift together the flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and pumpkin spice mix.
  • Beat the egg with the sugar, add the pumpkin puree, oil and vanilla extract, then mix everything together with the dry ingredients.
  • Line two baking trays with baking paper, and use a teaspoon to scoop out batter, making sure to keep the balls shaped apart to allow spreading.
  • Bake one tray at a time in a pre-heated oven at 160 degrees Celsius (320 Fahrenheit) for 15-20 minutes, until well risen and the top is firm to touch.

To make the maple cream filling

  • Use a hand mixer to beat the butter for about 1 minute until fluffy, add the icing sugar and maple syrup and beat again to combine.
  • Add the cream cheese and beat again, this time with a spatula until smooth.
  • Once the pies are out of the oven, allow to cool, then sandwich them together using the cream cheese filling. Enjoy!
