Preparation :
Peel and grate 1,5 kg (3.3 lb) of pumpkin, and mix 1 sachets of vanilla sugar in it. From 500 grams (1lb) of piecrusts take 2 of them, place them on the work surface, sprinkle with oil, and then put one over the another.
On the longer side od the crusts build up a layer of grated pumpkin, top with 1-2 tablespoons of sugar and a little of cinnamon by taste (Always be careful with a cinnamon! Do not overdo it! Use it like you use a pepper, for example), roll and drop into a greased baking pan.
Rolling instruction: Overlap the three edge sides of the piecrusts (one side over the grated pumpin) and then roll (see the picture bellow).
The same way you fill all crusts, arranging them one by the other on a pan. Anoit them with oil, sprinkle with water, and bake on a low heat for up to approximately one hour. You’ll see… When the crust becomes light brown, it’s ready.
Cut the pie into peaces about 4 inches long (10cm) and sprinkle with powdered sugar by taste and preferences.
The preparation for the cherry pie is the same, and instead of pumpkin you add cherries sprinkled with a tablespoon of grits (wheat semolina) in every roll.
Prijatno!!! (Enjoy!) 🙂
