1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
0.5 teaspoon cinnamon
0.25 teaspoon nutmeg

Caramel or chocolate sauce (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a bowl, mix pumpkin puree, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and nutmeg until smooth.

For best flavor, use puff pastry made with real butter.
Don’t skip the egg wash—it helps give a beautiful golden color.
Serve with dipping sauces like caramel for extra flair.
