Mini Pumpkin Pies

I have a confession to make. We don’t really like Pumpkin Pie at my house. Many a pumpkin pie has been thrown away after one or two pieces has been eaten. So this year, I am coming up with a new strategy. 

After we made pie favors for my daughter’s wedding, I thought, why can’t we make them for Thanksgiving. If no one wants them, I can always share with some of my neighbors and friends. This way, I won’t feel guilty if no one eats these pies, because I can find someone who will eat them.

I used refrigerated pie crust. You can get six pies out of one package, or three out of each pie crust. Press the crust into the dish, neatly. I also used a large sized muffin pan.

Make your favorite pie filling.

I made 5 pies. That doesn't sound like a lot but I have three other desserts for Thanksgiving.

Top with a leaf or pumpkin from the excess pie dough. 

Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. So pretty and we are not going to have any leftovers.
