Mini Pumpkin Pie Bites

Nov 16, 2021 · Leave a Comment

Sharing is caring!

I love mini pumpkin pies for Friendsgivings or a low-key Thanksgiving. They’re so easy to make, you can have them ready in no time! Plus, they’re the perfect size to share with friends or family. The best part is that you're not sacrificing the flavor of traditional pumpkin pie. You're just making it bite-sized! I like to use a gluten-free flour blend Cup4Cup for the crust because it has great texture and flavor.

Ingredients

  • Pie Crust. My favorite pie crust recipe can be found here.
  • Canned Pumpkin Puree
  • Nutmeg
  • Cardamom
  • Ground Cinnamon
  • Granulated Sugar
  • Freshly Whipped Cream

Recipe Tips

  • It's so important that you fully cool the pie before trying to cut circles out of the pie. I suggest putting the pie in the freezer for 15 minutes.
  • A round, sturdy cookie-cutter is essential for clean cuts.
  • Put the pie up and out of the cookie-cutter from underneath. This ensures the filling doesn't smudge.

Common Questions

Can I use store-bought pie crust?

Yes, if you're not gluten-free or you have a good gluten-free brand you like. If you're using a refrigerated pie crust, make sure you thaw it completely before unrolling. A refrigerated pie crust can crumble if not properly thawed. My homemade pie crust recipe is easy to make and comes out with a nice flaky crust. 

How do I get my pie crust to look nice and flaky?

You need to roll your pie crusts into balls first. Then flatten each ball into a disk using a rolling pin. The trick is to keep the edges even as you are rolling. If you don't, the edges will puff up more than the center.

Can I make these mini pumpkin pies ahead of time?

Yes, but the pie needs to be cooled completely before cutting. You'll want to put the pie in the refrigerator overnight or in the freezer for 15 minutes. Then, you can cut out the mini pumpkin pies.

Can I freeze these?

Yes, just let them thaw at room temperature for about 20 minutes before serving.

How many servings does this recipe make?

This recipe makes 8 rounds.

How to store mini pumpkin pies?

Store in an airtight container.

Can I Use Other Fillings?

Sure!
