Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box (14.1 oz) refrigerated pie crusts (2 rolls)
- 1 cup canned pumpkin puree (not pie filling)
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Whipped cream and ground cinnamon for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a standard 12-slot muffin tin with non-stick spray.
- Cut the Crust: Unroll the pie crusts on a lightly floured surface. Use a 3.5 to 4-inch round cutter to stamp out 12 circles, rerolling scraps if necessary.
- Form the Mini Shells: Press each dough circle gently into the bottom and up the sides of the muffin tin slots.
- Mix the Filling: In a medium bowl, whisk the egg. Add the pumpkin puree, sweetened condensed milk, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla, and salt. Stir until completely smooth.
- Fill and Bake: Spoon approximately 2 tablespoons of filling into each crust. Bake for 18-22 minutes until the crust is golden and the filling is set.
- Cool and Serve: Let the pies cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Top with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon before serving.
Notes
Keep the pie dough chilled until the moment you are ready to cut it to prevent shrinking. For a decorative touch, use leaf-shaped crust cutouts on top of each pie. These can be made up to two days in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
