Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 package refrigerated pie crusts (2 crusts), softened to room temperature
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup evaporated milk
For topping:
  • Whipped cream
  • Ground cinnamon, for dusting (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven and prepare the muffin tin (5 minutes):
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
    • Lightly grease a mini muffin tin (24-cup) with non-stick spray.
  2. Cut and shape the crust (5 minutes):
    • Unroll the pie crusts and use a round cookie cutter (about 2.5-3 inches) to cut out circles.
    • Gently press each circle into the cups of the mini muffin tin, pressing down and up the sides to form little crusts. Gather any scraps and re-roll as needed to fill all 24 cups.
  3. Make the pumpkin filling (5 minutes):
    • In a medium bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, egg, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, salt, and evaporated milk until smooth and well combined.
  4. Fill the mini pie crusts (5 minutes):
    • Spoon about 1 tablespoon of pumpkin filling into each prepared crust, filling nearly to the top but being careful not to overfill.
  5. Bake the mini pies (20-25 minutes):
    • Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the crusts are golden brown and the filling is set. You can test by gently inserting a toothpick in the center of a pie; if it comes out mostly clean, they’re ready.
    • Remove from the oven and let the mini pies cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  6. Serve and garnish (5 minutes):
    • Top each mini pie with a small dollop of whipped cream and a light dusting of cinnamon, if desired. Serve these Bite-Sized Pumpkin Pies warm or at room temperature and enjoy!

Notes

These bite-sized treats are great for make-ahead desserts; simply store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.

Just before serving, add the whipped cream for the freshest presentation. You can also customize the flavor by adding a splash of vanilla extract to the filling or by using pre-made pumpkin pie spice instead of the individual spices.

Whether you’re hosting a family gathering or simply indulging in a personal treat, these Bite-Sized Pumpkin Pies are sure to bring smiles!
