If you prefer more crust to your pumpkin pie, how do you feel about pumpkin pie wrapped in pastry dough? Because these kolaches are ready for fall!
Am I a little obsessed with kolaches? Yes, maybe more than a little. Was it me posting two versions within a week that gave it away? Or the fact that I cannot participate in a themed blogger event without one of my recipes being a kolache? After watching Chris at Kolache Republic make their kolaches I wrote down some tips to practice when making my own and now I cannot seem to stop.
Since this week is all about the pumpkin, I stuffed these kolaches with pumpkin pie filling. Literally, the filling is adapted from my pumpkin pie recipe. I considered adding pumpkin to the dough as well but decided to just stick with the filling and instead added a little pumpkin spice to the dough. Maybe next year I will make pumpkin kolache dough ;-).
There’s plenty more pumpkin recipes where that came from! Scroll down and find the list of bloggers who also shared a pumpkin recipe today. The hardest question is which will you make first? And don’t forget to enter our giveaway!

PUMPKIN PIE KOLACHES
Makes 15
Ingredients:
DOUGH
1/2 cup shortening
1/4 cup Dixie Crystals pure cane sugar
3/4 tsp salt
1-1/4 cups scalded milk
2 Egglands Best large egg yolks, beaten
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
1 (1/4 oz.) pkg. active dry yeast
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
Melted butter, for brushing
FILLING
3/4 cup canned or fresh pumpkin puree
1/4 cup Dixie Crystals pure cane sugar
1 Egglands Best large egg yolk
1 Tbsp all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1/8 tsp salt
Directions:
- In a large bowl, cream shortening and sugar together. Stir in salt, hot milk, beaten egg yolks, and vanilla extract. When lukewarm, add yeast to mixture. Let stand 5 minutes or until foamy. Add flour and pumpkin pie spice, beating well. Knead down into bowl. The dough will be slightly sticky. Cover with a damp towel and let rise 1 hour.
- Meanwhile in a medium bowl add all the filling ingredients. Beat until fully incorporated and smooth. Set aside.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees and line a 10×15-inch rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Divide dough into 15 pieces and roll into rounds in your hands. Place on baking sheet 1-inch apart and let rise 15 minutes.
- Make a depression into the center of each roll and fill with a heaping teaspoon of the filling. Bake for 15-20 minutes, rotating halfway through, or until browned. Remove from oven, brush immediately with butter, and cool on wire racks.
