One of my favorite things to do is experiment with making "tiny" desserts or hand-held desserts that are perfect for dessert buffet tables. What I really enjoy about tiny desserts is that they look so pretty and you can enjoy the taste of the dessert in a tiny bite without over-eating.

Mini Pumpkin Pie Treats

Over the weekend, I made these delicious mini pumpkin pie treats.They're very similar to the Mini Flower Pumpkin Pies I shared last year, but I made them even prettier by placing a mini baked pie crust cut out on top of the treats as they came out of the oven.

So delicious and they will look beautiful on your dessert table for Thanksgiving or any Fall gathering.

📋Ingredients

Make sure you print out the recipe below and save it for later!

• 1 double recipe of pie dough, you can use store purchased as well. 
• ¾ cup white sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 15 ounce can Libby's 100% Pure Pumpkin
• 1 12 ounce can evaporated milk
• 2 to 3 tsp Pumpkin Pie Spice

Step-by-Step Directions

1️⃣ Prepare the Pie Filling

• Combine the pure pumpkin pie, evaporated milk, eggs, white sugar and spice together in a mixing bowl using either an electric mixer or KitchenAid Mixer.

2️⃣How to Get Mini Pie Dough Circles

• Roll out the dough until it's about ¼ inch thick.
• Use a traditional biscuit cutter to get the round shape. T
• You can use a mason jar lid to get circle shapes or even a juice glass works great too! 

3️⃣Add the Pie Dough Circles to the Muffin Pan

• You can use your fingers to press the pie dough into the muffin pan. However, I'm always finding that my nails will pierce the dough or worse I'll accidentally tear the dough. 
• The best tool to use is a tart tamper.  I use this for so many different pastry recipes, especially when I make my mini quiche recipe. One tart tamper is under $5.00 on Amazon. 

4️⃣ Filling Instructions

• Using a small scoop, fill up each tart with the pumpkin pie mixture.
• Be careful not to overfill them.

5️⃣ Baking Instructions

• Bake in a 400°F oven for 15 minutes; checking after 10 minutes.
• Since they are small pies, they bake much quicker than a full sized pie.
• You know they are done when you insert a knife in the center and it comes out clean AND the pie crust is a nice color.

6️⃣ Prepare the Pie Dough Shapes

• While the mini pumpkin pies are baking, roll out the second pie dough. 
• Using the mini-cookie cutters, cut out the shapes that you want to place on top of each mini pie.
• Place the shapes on a parchment lined baking tray and brush with an egg glaze. You can sprinkle a little white sugar on top of each shape as well.
• Bake in a 400 degree oven for 10 minutes or until the shapes are golden brown.

7️⃣ Add the Pie Dough Shapes

• Once you remove the mini pumpkin pies from the oven and while the pies are still warm, immediately place a baked pie dough shape on top of the still warm pie and press making sure the pie dough shape is sticking to the pumpkin pie filling. 
• You need to be quick with this step. If you wait too long, the filling of the pumpkin pie will start to firm up and the pie dough shape will not stick. 
• Let cool slightly in the pan before removing to a baking rack to cool completely before serving. 

🍶Storage Tips

• Allow the mini pumpkin pies to cool completely to room temperature then place them in an airtight container or plastic storage bag in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

❄️Freezing Tips

• Wrap the mini pumpkin pies in either plastic wrap or aluminum foil before placing in an airtight container or freezer-safe plastic bag.
• Wrapping them first will give you another layer of insulation against freezer burn.
• You can freeze them for up to 2-3 months.

🔁 Thaw and Reheat

• When you're ready to enjoy them again, simply thaw them in the refrigerator overnight.
• You can enjoy them at room temperature.

➡️Top Recipe Tip

• If you don't have biscuit cutters to get the round pie crust shapes, you can use a mason jar lid to get circle shapes. 
• Biscuit cutter - you can use a traditional biscuit cutter to get the round shape. There's even biscuit cutters that have crimped edges! They give a really cute look to the mini pies. 
• You can use a mason jar lid to get circle shapes. 
• A juice glass works great too! 
• Another great tool to use is a pastry wheel cutter. You can even use this tool to cut slices in the pastry dough when making lattice pies.
