Mini Pumpkin Pies – a delicious and easy way to enjoy a classic pumpkin pie in bite sized form. These are perfect for Thanksgiving dinner, parties and buffet style gatherings.
Mini Pumpkin Pies Recipe
I love pumpkin pie, it’s one of my favorites along with our triple berry pie. Both pies make it to our Thanksgiving table each year and each year there are hardly any leftovers. These mini pumpkin pies taste just like the classic pumpkin pie but it’s portioned into mini bite sizes that are perfect for Thanksgiving day, parties, and buffet style gatherings.
Semi-Homemade Fall
I love a quick dessert that tastes delicious and saves me time. Here are some simple short cuts to bring this dessert to the table quickly.
Pie Crust: While I do love the taste of a homemade crust when baking, I don’t always have the time to make one. Sometimes homemade pie crust can be finicky to work with so for this mini pumpkin pie recipe I like to use store bought pie crust but feel free to use whatever is easiest for you.
Cookie Cutter: use a 3 inch circle cookie cutter to make fast mini crusts. Simply push them into your mini cupcake tins.
Whipped Topping: again, while I do love a good homemade whipped topping for this recipe you can use your favorite canned whipped topping or Cool Whip.

Could you make these a bit larger using a muffin tin (12 pies instead of 24) by adjusting the size of the cut dough?
Katie says
absolutely! They may need to bake a tad longer since the pies will be thicker, just keep an eye on them!
Christine Guy says
Awesome, thank you so much!!
Cathi says
Making these this week. Do you think I can freeze some of the batch? Or won’t they hold up?
Maria says
