Ingredients
Pie Ingredients:
- 1 box of store bought pie crusts 2 crusts total
- 1 15 oz can of pumpkin puree
- ¾ cup evaporated milk 6 oz
- 1 large whole egg + 1 large egg yolk
- ½ cup packed brown sugar
- ¼ cup white sugar
- 1½ tsp vanilla extract
- 1¼ tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp ground cloves
- ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
- ¼ tsp salt
Whipped Cream:
- 1 cup cold heavy whipping cream
- 2-3 tbsp powdered sugar to taste
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Coat a 12-count muffin tin with cooking spray.
- Prepare the crusts by unrolling the pie doughs and cutting 12 circles using a 3½" biscuit cutter or the lid of a large-mouthed mason jar.
- Place the dough rounds inside each cup of the prepared baking tin, by molding the dough to the bottoms and sides of the muffin cups.
- Prepare the filling by beating the pumpkin puree, evaporated milk, whole egg, extra egg yolk, brown sugar, white sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and salt with a hand mixer (or stand mixer) in a large bowl until creamy and smooth.
- Divide the pumpkin filling between muffin cups.
- Bake the pies by placing them in the oven to bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the tops of the crusts are golden brown.
- Remove from the oven to cool for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire cooling rack to finish cooling. Side Note: I used a butter knife to remove the pies from the tin.
- Make the whipped cream by beating the very cold heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla together in a cold bowl until thick and creamy, about 3 minutes. Side Note: I place the heavy cream and bowl in the freezer for a few minutes before making the whipped cream, which helps the cream thicken.
- To serve, spoon a dollop of whipped cream on each pie right before serving, then sprinkle them with a dash of cinnamon, if desired. Enjoy.
