MINI PUMPKIN PIES

Who loves pumpkin pie? It’s something I look forward to baking every fall. Nothing beats a slice of homemade pie! I thought it would be fun to make miniature versions of classic pumpkin pie. These bite-size Mini Pumpkin Pies would be perfect for parties or special occasions. They look like you spent all day making them, but in reality, they only take about 15 minutes to assemble.

As far as “special equipment” goes, you’ll need two mini muffin tins and a 3-inch cookie cutter (it can be round or scalloped). I’m sure you could get away with using a drinking glass too if you don’t have the right size cookie cutter on hand. Make sure to spray your pan well so that the pies pop right out. When they’ve cooled enough you can top them with whipped cream and a dusting of cinnamon, or eat them plain! It’s totally up to you. I had such a fun time making these Mini Pumpkin Pies with my kiddos, I’m positive we’ll be making them again & again!

• 2 rounds pie dough homemade or store bought
