Prepare the Pie Crust: 1.1 In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, and sugar. 1.2 Add the cold butter cubes and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. 1.3 Slowly add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough begins to come together. 1.4 Divide the dough into two disks, wrap them in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least an hour.

Make the Pumpkin Filling: 2.1 In a medium bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves. 2.2 Mix until smooth and set aside.

Roll Out the Dough: 3.1 Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). 3.2 On a lightly floured surface, roll out one of the dough disks to about 1/8-inch thickness. 3.3 Use a pumpkin-shaped cookie cutter to cut out shapes. 3.4 Repeat with the second disk of dough.

Assemble the Hand Pies: 4.1 Place half of the pumpkin shapes on a parchment-lined baking sheet. 4.2 Spoon about 1-2 tablespoons of pumpkin filling onto the center of each shape. 4.3 Brush the edges with beaten egg, then place another pumpkin shape on top. 4.4 Press the edges together with a fork to seal. 4.5 Use a small knife to cut out Jack-O'-Lantern faces on the top layer of each pie.

Bake the Hand Pies: 5.1 Brush the tops of each hand pie with the remaining beaten egg. 5.2 Sprinkle with optional garnishes if desired. 5.3 Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. 5.4 Allow to cool slightly before serving.
