Pumpkin Artistry Begins

Using the small sharp knife, carefully carve a face on one side of the pumpkin. This will be your canvas for your edible artwork!

Pie Claims the Pumpkin

Remove the top of the pumpkin and scoop out all the seeds and stringy bits. Don't toss them away just yet, we have other plans for those crunchy pumpkin seeds!

Pie Crust Magic

Roll out the refrigerated pie crust on a lightly floured surface. Cut out shapes like leaves, stars, or even turkey feathers using cookie cutters or by freehand, if you're feeling adventurous.

Pie Meets Pumpkin

Using a pastry brush, apply a little bit of water to the back of each cutout shape, then gently press them onto the pumpkin. Arrange the pie crust pieces into a beautiful design, covering as much of the pumpkin as you like.

Art in the Oven

Place the pumpkin in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) and bake for about 40-45 minutes, or until the pie crust turns golden brown. Keep an eye on it - you don't want to overcook the masterpiece!

Slice and Serve

Once your Pumpkin Pie Art has cooled, slice it up just like you would a regular pie and enjoy the deliciousness of your edible artwork! Be sure to take lots of photos before digging in - you'll want to capture this masterpiece!
