Mini Pumpkin Pie using pie crust flowers in place of a traditional pie crust. Top these off with homemade whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon and sugar. Let me show you how easy it is to make another one of our favorite pumpkin dessert recipes.

How cute is this recipe for Mini Pumpkin Pie in the shape of flowers? They not only taste delicious, but they’re adorable. I think they make a great addition to any dessert buffet table as well.
The recipe I use to make these mini pumpkin pies is found on the back of the can of Libby’s Pure Pumpkin.
I never buy the can of pumpkin that has the spices mixed in, I like to add my own in the way of Pumpkin Pie Spice. Make sure you check out my homemade recipe for Pumpkin Pie Spice.
Make sure you add a dollop of Homemade Whipped Cream to the top of the pie crust flowers before serving.

Here is what the Pastry Dough Tart Tamper looks like. You can see how easily it helps push dough into the mini muffin pan for Mini Quiche I made recently. I use this tool a lot for dough recipes.

Ingredients:
Exact measurements are listed below in the recipe card. Make sure you scroll down to print and save the recipe for later!
- One can Libby’s Pure Pumpkin
- Evaporated milk
- Sugar
- Salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 tbsp to 1 tbsp pumpkin pie spice; depending on your taste. This is my favorite spice to add to most Fall-inspired pumpkin recipes.
- One recipe of pie dough either homemade or store bought.
How to Make Pie Crust Flowers
Using a flower shaped cookie cutter, cut out shapes in the pie crust. You can use a round or biscuit cutter for the shapes as well, the mini pumpkin pie just won’t have the cute flower shapes.
Please don’t feel as if you have to make homemade pie dough. Store purchased refrigerated pie crust works fine too!
Baking Tip: Spray the mini muffin pan generously making sure you spray around the top of the “wells” in the muffin pan. You don’t want the pie dough to stick to the pan while they are baking.
Place the cut out pie crust flowers dough into a muffin pan. Make sure you use the Pastry Dough Tart Tamper to help you get the dough inside without tearing.
How to fill Mini Pumpkin Pies
Use a small cookie scoop to spoon the pumpkin pie mixture into the pie crust. I love to use my cookie scoops for more than just making cookies!
If you don’t have a cookie scoop, you can use a tablespoon size measuring spoon. Fill the cups to about 2/3 of the way to the top being careful not to overfill. You don’t want them to overflow as they bake.

Baking Instructions
Brush the pie crust with an egg wash. You can also sprinkle sugar on the edges of the pie crust if desired.
Bake in a 400 degree preheated oven for about 15 minutes; checking often until a knife inserted in the middle of the pie comes out clean.
How to Serve the Mini Pumpkin Pies
Let cool slightly before removing from the pans. Top with fresh homemade whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon/sugar before serving.
Refrigerate any leftovers in an air-tight container.

Frequently Asked Recipe Questions

cooking spray. - Make sure you spray the top of the muffin pan as well.

Notes
- Since these are small pies, they bake much quicker than a full sized pie.
- Oven temperatures vary so check them to make sure the crust isn't getting too brown.
- The mini pumpkin pies are done when you can insert a knife in the center and it comes out clean
- The pie crust should be golden brown.

I was just wondering what size your cookie cutter was. I have a flower shape cookie cutter but it’s rather large; I think it’s too large for the mini baking pan
I link the cookie cutter that I used in the post above Colleen. Hope that helps you!
