Supplies You'll Need:

 

Ingredients for Dog-Friendly Pumpkin PieFor the Pie Crust

For the Filling

  • 1 cup pumpkin puree (plain, not pie filling)
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened Greek yogurt
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional, based on your dog’s taste preferences)

    Step-by-Step Instructions ( watch the video below)
  1. Preheat Oven: Start by setting your oven to 350°F to warm up.
  2. Mix the Filling: In a bowl, combine pumpkin puree, Greek yogurt, egg, and cinnamon. Mix until smooth, then set aside.
  3. Prepare the Dough: In another bowl, mix flour, egg, and applesauce until it forms a ball of dough. If it is too wet add a little bit more flour at a time. You should be able to touch the dough with your finger and not doug sticking to your fingers. Different brands of applesauce/pumpkin will have a different consistency. 
  4. Roll Out the Dough: Roll out the dough on a non-stick surface. Use a mug or cookie cutter to cut out six circles. If using a rolling pin, be sure to coat it with a little bit of flour first and also some of the surface you are working on. I like using the silicone mats because it is not as messy. 
  5. Form the Crusts: Grease a muffin pan and press the dough circles into each cup, shaping them into crusts. Thick enough but not too thin.
  6. Add the Filling: Spoon the filling into each crust. Tap the pan gently to release any air bubbles.
  7. Bake: Place the pan in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the crusts are lightly golden. Place them on a wire rack to cool down. 
  8. Cool: Remove the pies from the oven and let them cool for about 5 minutes before serving.
