I don’t know why it is, but there is something so fun about mini versions of our favorite foods – and these Mini Pumpkin Pies are one perfect example.
Mini Pumpkin Pies are great to serve for Thanksgiving
These scrumptious little treasures are made in a mini muffin tin, creating adorable little bite-sized pies.
When served up on your holiday buffet table, these mini pies look so wonderful, they are almost too pretty to eat.
But once people taste them, these sweet little pies will rapidly disappear.
Made with real pumpkin puree, these Mini Pumpkin Pies taste wonderfully homemade.
But with the use of ready-to-bake pie crusts, these delightful desserts are easy to make.
But it’s okay if you let your Thanksgiving or Christmas party guests think you slaved over these for hours.
I think that these mini pies are the perfect party solution, really.
It’s so much easier than serving up individual pie slices, especially if you have a potluck or buffet type of situation going on.
And that fun factor really does matter. When someone sees one or two mini pumpkin pies on their plate, they are sure to smile!

Ingredients to Make Mini Pumpkin Pies
- 15-oz. package ready-to-bake pie crusts
- 15-oz. can pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
- 12-oz. evaporated milk
- ¾ c. brown sugar
- 2 large eggs

How to Make Mini Pumpkin Pies
1. Preheat oven to 425°F and spray a 24-cup mini muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
2. Cut pie crust out into circles using a wide-mouth jar lid. Push pie circles down into the muffin cups. If needed, gently knead and roll out any extra dough left from the rings to make a total of 21 circles.
3. Mix pumpkin pie filling ingredients in a large mixing bowl until smooth. Divide filling among the mini pie shells.
4. Place in the pre-heated oven and bake for 10 minutes. Reduce temperature to 350 and bake an additional 10-12 minutes, until pie filling is just set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
5. Remove from oven and cool for 10-15 minutes before removing from muffin tin and topping with whipped cream. Garnish with some ground cinnamon, if desired, and enjoy!

Hi, I’m Jennifer. I love to cook and entertain. I have a lot of fun sharing traditional food and drink recipes as well as putting a new spin on the classics. I strive to provide easy to make recipes that are perfect for the home cook, bartender and entertainer.
We made these for dessert for Thanksgiving! They were great! They went over really well too since we ate way too much and didn’t have a lot of room for dessert.
