Ingredients

Scale

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dough by mixing flour, sugar, and salt in a bowl. Cut in cold butter until it resembles coarse crumbs. Add ice water gradually until the dough forms.

  3. For the apple filling, sauté diced honey crisp apples in butter, then mix in brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla until syrupy.
  4. Roast blackberries with sugar and vanilla extract until thickened.
  5. Roll out the chilled dough and cut into pumpkin shapes using a cookie cutter.
