Matt Jamie, Bourbon Barrel Foods Founder and Owner Speaks about developing Bourbon Smoked Pumpkin Spice.
For at least five years, I’ve wanted to make a Bourbon Smoked pumpkin spice. Last year during pumpkin spice season – we started developing it right then and there – so we could have it out in time this year. As we were getting closer and closer to October, I was getting pressure to have it finished. But we finally did it. We got it out.
There’s no sugar added to it so you can sweeten however you want. When we decide to do a blend like this, we will create the recipe and blend in house and then I send it out to have it blended for us. We will put our last touch on it where we put it in our smokers and we smoke it. We smoke it with barrel staves, so it’s extremely unique smoke flavor. The smoke comes through, it’s subtle, but it’s there.
With pumpkin spice, we think of those warming spices – as the temperature starts to change cinnamon, nutmed, clove and those all blended together create a really unique flavor that we’ve come to know as pumpkin spice. I’m excited to be a part of the party.
I’ve wanted to do this for a very long time. You can find Bourbon Smoked Pumpkin Spice here, online or at our store in Louisville, Kentucky.

Bourbon Smoked Pumpkin Spice Apple Turnovers
Fall is the perfect time to indulge in warm, comforting desserts that celebrate the flavors of the season. These pumpkin spiced apple turnovers combine the sweetness of apples with the warm spices of pumpkin spice, all encased in flaky puff pastry. – Matt Jamie’s favorite!
Ingredients:
- 1 package of puff pastry sheets (usually contains 2 sheets)
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 3 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced
- 1 teaspoon Bourbon Smoked Pumpkin Spice
- 2 tablespoons Bourbon Barrel Aged Sorghum
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour, dusting
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Bourbon Barrel Caramel Sauce for drizzling
Method:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Thaw puff pastry according to directions.
- In a medium pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add diced apples and cook, stirring periodically until softened (about 5 minutes)
- Reduce heat to low and add Bourbon Smoked Pumpkin Spice, Bourbon Barrel Aged Sorghum, and lemon juice Mix well to ensure the apples are evenly coated and cook for an additional 3 minuets or until apples are soft. Set aside and allow to cool.
- On a lightly floured surface, unfold the puff pastry sheets. Roll each sheet slightly to smooth out the folds and cut each sheet into 4 equal squares, giving you a total of 8 squares.
- Place a generous spoonful of the apple mixture in the center of each square. Be careful not to overfill, as this will make it difficult to seal the edges.
- Fold each square into a triangle, enclosing the filling. Press the edges together with a fork to seal, ensuring no filling escapes during baking.
- Brush the tops of the turnovers with beaten egg for a golden finish and add a few vent holes with a sharp knife.
- Transfer the turnovers to the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
- Allow the turnovers to cool slightly on a wire rack. If desired, drizzle with Bourbon Barrel Caramel Sauce before serving.
