How to make these cute little pumpkin pies:
- Begin by preheating your oven to 375 degrees and getting out your mini muffin tins.
- Prepare the pie dough, roll it out, and cut it into circles using a 2 ½-inch biscuit cutter. Carefully line each mini muffin cup with a circle of pie dough. Be careful not to stretch or tear the pie dough. This can cause holes, and the pumpkin filling will leak, and your bite-size pumpkin pies will stick in the tins.
- Whisk together the pumpkin pie filling ingredients and fill each crust with roughly ½ Tbs. of filling. This will fill the crust right up to the top.
- Bake at 375 for 30 minutes. Cool completely, and top with whipped cream!
Is pumpkin pie mix the same as pumpkin puree?
No, it is not. The pumpkin pie mix already has spices added in. Pumpkin puree is just pumpkin. They can't be substituted for each other.
What is pumpkin pie spice?
It is a premixed blend of cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and sometimes allspice.
Can you freeze pumpkin pie?
Yes, you can! It is better to chill your pumpkin pie completely before tightly wrapping the pie in saran wrap and foil. Then just pop it in the freezer! Thaw in the fridge and not on the countertop to prevent making the crust soggy.
