Pie Crust
- 1 (14.1 oz) box refrigerated pie dough (should have 2 (9 inch) crusts)
Pumpkin Filling
- 1 (15 oz) can pumpkin purée
- 1 (14 oz) can condensed milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Serving
- Prepare Oven and Muffin Tin: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and spray a standard 12-slot non-stick muffin tin with cooking spray. Set it aside for later.
- Cut Pie Dough: Roll out the two pie crusts side by side on a clean surface. Use a 4.5-inch round cookie cutter to cut 4 circles from each crust, totaling 8 rounds. Combine the leftover dough, roll it out again, and cut 4 more rounds to make 12 pie crust circles in total.
- Line Muffin Tin: Gently press one pie crust round into each muffin slot, shaping it to form the mini pie shells. Repeat for all 12 slots and set the tin aside.
- Mix Filling: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin purée, condensed milk, eggs, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground nutmeg, ground cloves, and salt until smooth and fully combined.
- Fill Pies: Evenly distribute the pumpkin filling into each pie crust shell. Using a cookie scoop helps to fill accurately and evenly.
- Bake: Place the filled muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the filling is set and no longer jiggly in the center.
- Cool: Allow the mini pumpkin pies to cool completely in the pan to set properly.
- Store and Serve: Store the pies in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Serve chilled topped with cool whip and enjoy!
Notes
- These pies may have a slight condensation when cooled or stored in the refrigerator, but this does not affect their texture or flavor.
- Store refrigerated for 3-4 days or freeze for 4-5 months. To reheat, thaw in the refrigerator and warm in the oven.
- The recipe uses common fall spices such as cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves, enhancing the classic pumpkin pie flavor.
