Let’s talk about PIE. I love pumpkin pie, but for me – it’s all about the crust. I like there to be a good amount of crust vs a lot of filling.
Making mini pumpkin pies allows a MUCH better filling to crust ratio, so I think I’ll make them this way forever and ever. Amen. Good talk.
I use a store bought pie crust for this, because with all the cooking and baking being down over the next month or so… I need a short cut. You can over-achieve and make your own, though!
If you love mini desserts (and who doesn’t?!) you’ll love Mini Brownie Bites, Mini Lemon Meringue Pies, or these Mini Pecan Pies!
Why you’ll love this recipe:

How to serve Pumpkin Pie
Serve these little lovelies at room temperature with a big dollop of whipped cream on top, or with a small scoop of vanilla ice cream. Sprinkle with a little cinnamon, nutmeg or pumpkin pie spice.
I have included step-by-step photos and instructions, as well as tips and tricks in the post. If you’d rather skip all that, scoot right on down to the full recipe card located at the bottom of the post.
Key Recipe Ingredients
Remember: this is just an overview and the why of the ingredients I choose here. The full list of ingredients and amounts is found in the printable recipe card below.

- Egg. I use large eggs for baking recipes!

JumpGet prepped
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
Make the filling
Combine all filling ingredients in a large bowl until well mixed.
Cut the dough into circles.
Using a 3 or 4 inch round cutter, cut circles of pie dough out and put them in a mini muffin pan or tart pan. Press lightly to fit the pan.
Fill the pie crusts and bake
Pour filling into each muffin cup (leave a bit of space, they will puff up a little).
Bake for 5 minutes at 425 F, then reduce oven temp to 350, and bake for a further 10 minutes or until knife inserted near center comes out clean. Oven temperatures vary, so your bake time could be 15 minutes, but up to 20.
Cool
Cool completely on a wire rack, and serve with whipped cream and a little cinnamon, nutmeg or pumpkin pie spice.
Kylee’s Notes
How to store:
Store in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Substitutions/Additions
You can add 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla or almond extract to the pie filling.
Freezing instructions
Once cooled, you can store in a zip lock bag in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw, top with cream and serve.
