What brand of pastry sheets were used? I used Pepperidge Farm and they didn’t turn out like I had hoped.
Lidia Simic says
Hi Erin, I always use Pepperidge Farm brand frozen puff pastry, it’s the perfect balance of buttery, flaky, and crispy without being greasy.

Wendy Barker says
What is pumpkin pie spice? Where do I get it?
Lidia Simic says
Hi Wendy, pumpkin pie spice is a blend of 5 spices. There’s cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, allspice and cloves. Combine 3 tablespoons cinnamon, 2 teaspoons ginger, 2 teaspoons nutmeg, 1 teaspoon allspice and 1 teaspoon cloves in a small bowl and whisk to combine. Transfer to an airtight container. That’s all! Hope that helps!

Lidia I am surprised you don’t add sugar to the pumpkin or the spice you sprinkle on top. I’m going to try this, but I might add some sugar.
Befu says
Probably due to the sugary spread on top made with powdered sugar.
