To prepare delicious pumpkin and walnut pies, start by thawing the pastry sheets. Make sure they are completely thawed to avoid tearing during handling. Once the sheets are ready, cut each sheet in half lengthwise. This step is essential to achieve smaller, more manageable pies.
Each cut part of the pastry sheet should be folded in half, but not before brushing it with a splash of oil. This oil will help achieve a flaky and golden texture when baked. Make sure to apply the oil evenly over the entire surface of the sheet. After doing this, take one of the ends of the folded sheet and add the previously prepared filling. The pie filling consists of roasted pumpkin, flavored with cinnamon and sugar, to which you add chopped walnut meat for a crunchy contrast and rich flavor.
After adding the filling, fold the sheet into a triangle, ensuring to seal the edges well so that the filling does not leak during baking. Place the obtained triangles on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, so they do not stick together. It is important to leave a little space between the pies to allow air circulation during baking.
To give them a beautiful color and appetizing appearance, brush the pies with a mixture of oil or beaten egg. On top, sprinkle granulated sugar, which will caramelize in the oven and create a delicious crust. Preheat the oven to a medium temperature and bake the pies for about 25-30 minutes or until they become golden and crispy.
Finally, remove the pies from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. These pies are ideal to be enjoyed warm, alongside a cup of tea or flavored coffee. Enjoy your meal!
