Ingredients
  

1 pre-made pie crust (or homemade, if you prefer)

1 cup canned pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)

1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk

1/4 cup brown sugar, packed

1 large egg

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 tsp pumpkin spice (or mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger)

1/4 tsp salt

Whipped cream (for serving, optional)

Ground cinnamon (for garnish, optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    Prepare the Pie Crusts: Roll out the pre-made pie crust and use a round cookie cutter or a glass to cut out circles that are about 4 inches in diameter. You should be able to make about 8-10 mini crusts, depending on how thick you roll it out. Press these circles into the cups of a muffin tin, ensuring they sit snugly.

      Make the Pumpkin Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the canned pumpkin puree, sweetened condensed milk, brown sugar, egg, vanilla extract, pumpkin spice, and salt. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

        Fill the Mini Crusts: Pour the pumpkin mixture into each mini pie crust, filling them about 3/4 full. Leave a little space at the top to avoid overflow as they bake.

          Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly firm to the touch.

            Cool and Serve: Remove the mini pumpkin pies from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for about 10 minutes. Then, carefully transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

              Garnish: Once cooled, top with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of ground cinnamon if desired.

                Enjoy: Serve these delightful mini pumpkin pies at your fall gatherings or as a sweet treat any time!
