If you've been thinking about baking pumpkin pie in the oven, try our simple recipe. Incidentally, it's radically different from the classic American pie. Firstly, ours is a closed pie, meaning the filling is sandwiched between two thin layers of dough. Secondly, we significantly enhanced the flavor by adding a large, sweet and tart apple and orange zest to the pumpkin. It turned out simply wonderful! Finally, our oven-baked pumpkin pie is even better because it tastes best when completely cooled. This means you can bake it the night before and serve it, for example, for breakfast with a glass of delicious warm milk.

These manti are very easy to prepare (you'll find a detailed recipe below), and they're cooked just like classic meat manti – steamed. Incidentally, you can easily use a slow cooker for this recipe; it'll make the process go faster. Pay special attention to the final step: dry the finished pumpkin manti slightly to prevent them from sticking to your plates. And don't forget to place a piece of butter in the center of each manti; it will melt and impart a particularly delicate flavor to the filling.

This allows the dough to puff up gently, while the filling remains incredibly juicy. We'll show you how to cook manti using different methods to achieve the perfect taste.
