These Perfect Mini Pumpkin Pies are bite-sized treats filled with creamy pumpkin goodness and warm spices, perfect for fall gatherings or cozy evenings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Premade pie crusts
  • 1 can (15 oz/425g) pumpkin puree
  • 2/3 cup (160 ml) evaporated milk
  • 1/2 cup (100 g) granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup (50 g) packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • Pinch of salt
  • Whipped cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
  2. Roll out your premade pie crust on a lightly floured surface. Use a round cookie cutter (or a glass) to cut out 12 circles, slightly larger than the diameter of your muffin cups. Gently press each circle into the muffin cups, ensuring they fit snugly against the sides.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, evaporated milk, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, ground cloves, and salt until smooth and creamy.
  4. Spoon the pumpkin mixture evenly into the prepared crusts, filling them almost to the top.
  5. Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is set and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Allow the mini pies to cool in the muffin tin for 10 minutes, then carefully remove them and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. Top each pie with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg before serving.

Notes

If your pie crust edges start to brown too quickly, cover them with small strips of aluminum foil halfway through baking to prevent burning. Let the pies cool completely before removing them from the muffin tin to avoid cracks and spills.
