Pumpkin Pie for Dogs

Ingredients

• 1 cup Wheat Flour (all‑purpose wheat flour, can substitute whole wheat)
• 1/2 cup Applesauce (unsweetened, no added sugar)
• 3 tbsp Water (for crust dough)
• 1/2 cup Water (for filling, microwave)
• 1 tsp Unflavored Gelatin (sprinkle; dissolves in hot water)
• 3/4 cup Pumpkin Puree (canned pure pumpkin, not pie filling)
• 2 tbsp Whipped Cream (plain, no added sugar; can use dairy‑free topping)

Instructions

1. Make crust dough

   Combine 1 cup wheat flour, 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce, and 3 tbsp water in a mixing bowl. Stir until the mixture clumps together, then knead briefly into a smooth ball, cleaning any scraps as you go.

   Time: PT5M

2. Roll and fit crust

   Lightly flour a clean surface, roll the dough to about 1/8‑inch thickness, place it into the mini pie pan, press gently, and trim off excess dough.

3. Bake crust

   Preheat the oven to 350°F. Bake the crust for 10 minutes, or until it looks set and lightly golden around the edges.

   Time: PT10M

   Temperature: 350°F

4. Heat water and dissolve gelatin

   In a microwave‑safe bowl, combine 1/2 cup water with the gelatin. Microwave on high until the water boils, about 2 minutes, then stir until the gelatin is completely dissolved.

   Time: PT3M

5. Mix pumpkin filling

   Add 3/4 cup pumpkin puree to the gelatin mixture and whisk for 5 minutes until the filling is smooth and begins to thicken.

   Time: PT5M

6. Cool crust

   Remove the baked crust from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for about 5 minutes until it reaches room temperature.

   Time: PT5M

7. Fill pie and chill

   Spoon the pumpkin‑gelatin filling into the cooled crust, tap the pan gently to level the surface, and place the pie in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours until firm.

   Time: PT2H

8. Top with whipped cream and serve

   Once the pie is set, slice it into small pieces appropriate for your dog's size and top each slice with a dollop of plain whipped cream.
