Mini Pumpkin Pies
These mini pumpkin pies are the perfect bite sized dessert for Thanksgiving! Easy to make in a muffin pan with buttery pie crust and pumpkin pie filling.
Ingredients
- 1 unbaked pie crust
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
- ½ teaspoon Kosher salt
- 1 (15-ounce) can pure pumpkin (I use Libby's 100% pure pumpkin)
- ¾ cup evaporated milk
- Whipped cream for topping
Instructions
- Prep. Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 12-cup muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray.
- Roll out the pie dough on a floured surface to about 1/8- to 1/4-inch thick. Using a cookie cutter or wide-mouth lid, cut 12 circles, each 3 1/2-inch wide. Place discs inside muffin cups, molding the dough to the sides.
- Pumpkin pie mixture. In a large bowl, beat 2 eggs. Whisk in 1 teaspoon vanilla, 3/4 cup sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ginger, 1/4 teaspoon cloves, and 1/2 teaspoon salt until combined. Whisk in 15 ounce canned pumpkin. Gradually whisk in 3/4 cup evaporated milk until the mixture is smooth. Divide filling evenly between the muffin cups.
- Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the filling is cooked. Place a knife in the center to make sure it comes out clean.
- Cool 10 minutes. Run a knife around the edges of the pies and transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely (about 3 hours). Top with homemade whipped cream when ready to serve.
Notes
Pie crust: While a homemade pie crust is preferred, I've also found that the ones in the freezer section work great.
Storage: Store in a covered container up to 5 days in the refrigerator.
