Instructions
Creating mini pumpkin pies is easy if you follow these steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Prepare Pie Crust: Roll out the pie crust on a floured surface. Cut out small circles using a cookie cutter or a glass to fit into a cupcake or muffin tin. Press each circle into the muffin tin cups.
3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, allspice, and salt. Stir until well blended.
4. Add Eggs: Beat the eggs in a separate bowl. Add them to the dry mixture and stir.
5. Incorporate Pumpkin: Add the pumpkin puree into the mixture, stirring until fully combined.
6. Add Milk: Gradually add the evaporated milk to the mixture, blending until smooth.
7. Fill Crusts: Pour the pumpkin mixture into the prepared crusts, filling each about 3/4 full.
8. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the filling comes out clean.
9. Cool: Remove the pies from the oven and let them cool in the tin for about 10-15 minutes. Carefully transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Serve: If desired, top each mini pie with whipped cream before serving.
