Tips and Tricks
- Let the cream cheese sit out on the counter prior to making the filling so it is nice and soft for mixing.
- You could substitute 1.5 teaspoons of pumpkin spice for the individual seasonings.
- Don’t skip cutting slits into the pasties. They need the vent in order for the steam to escape.
