A simple twist on a classic pumpkin pie recipe, these easy mini pumpkin pie bites are perfect to serve at your next Friendsgiving or Thanksgiving event.
The sweet, cinnamon pumpkin flavor combined with the mini size will make it difficult for your guests to resist them.
Love it or hate it, pumpkin pie is the quintessential Thanksgiving dessert.
I actually refused to try any pumpkin pie recipe until a couple of years ago. It looks like baby food in a pie crust.
When it was time to choose between apple, pecan, or pumpkin, I would always choose an apple pie or pecan pie (especially when my Bourbon Butterscotch Pecan Pie was an option).
When I finally tried pumpkin pie (store-bought from Costco, I think), I was impressed.
How To Make Easy Pumpkin Pie Bites
- Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees.
- Then remove the 3 pie crusts from the refrigerator so they can come to room temperature and spray a muffin tin with canola oil.
- Next, prepare the filling according to the pumpkin pie recipe card below.
- Roll out the 3 room-temperature pie crusts and cut out mini pies using a cookie cutter (you can also use a drinking glass as a backup).
- Each pie crust will make 9 mini pies for a total of 27 mini pies.
- Place 12 mini pie crusts in the muffin tin.
- hen fill the mini pie crusts with the pumpkin pie recipe mixture.
- Bake for 13-15 minutes.
- Let the baked pies sit in the tin for 3 to 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.
- Once you have transferred the mini pies to the cooling rack, place 12 more mini pie crusts in the muffin tin, add the filling, and bake again.
- You’ll need to repeat this step a total of 3 times.
