Mini Maple Sweetened Pumpkin Pies
These mini pumpkin pies are sweetened with maple syrup! They are a perfect little sweet treat to add to your thanksgiving dessert menu!
Servings: 24 mini pies
Ingredients
- ¼ cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 egg
- ⅓ cup pumpkin puree
- 3 tbsp maple syrup
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp pumpkin pie spice
- ⅛ tsp salt
- 2 rolls pie crust
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Whisk together the heavy cream and egg until smooth.
- Add in the pumpkin puree, vanilla, pumpkin pie spice, and salt and mix until combined into a smooth custard.
- Unroll the pie crusts on a floured surface. Use a 2.5-inch cookie cutter (or any small circular object) to cut out small circles from the dough. You may have to combine the scraps and re-roll them out to be able to get more circles from the dough.
- Place the dough circles into the mini muffin pan. Use your fingers to press it onto the sides of each mini muffin cup.
- Place the mini muffin pan on top of a cookie pan and pour the filling evenly into the 24 mini pie cups. If you are using a silicone mini muffin pan, make sure to place the mini muffin pan on top of the cookie pan before pouring the filling (liquids will move easily if using a silicone pan). For a shinier crust, gently brush an egg wash on top of the dough.
- Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 25 minutes, or until the crust slightly browns. The pies will puff up while baking and deflate once cooled.
Notes
- You may make regular-sized muffins by adding a few more minutes to the total bake time and using a larger-sized cookie cutter for the crust.
- The pies will puff up while baking, but they will deflate and even out once they cool.
- You may adjust the amount of maple syrup if you prefer less or more sweetness in the pies.
- I like to use a silicone muffin pan to bake these pies as they pop out easily without any sticking.
- If your crust is light in color and you prefer for it to be a little darker, set your oven to broil once the pies are done baking for exactly 1 minute. Be sure to take them out immediately so that they don't burn!
