mini pumpkin pies

since it’s fall i’ve been feeling real festive and wanted to make a dessert to fit the occasion.

these mini pumpkin pies are to die for!

here’s how to make them:

ingredients:

-1 box store bought pie dough

-4 oz cream cheese, room temp

-1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

-1/2 cup pumpkin puree

-1/2 tsp pumpkin spice

-Pinch of salt

-1 egg

-1/2 cup sugar

-1 tsp cinnamon

steps:

-in a bowl mix together the cream cheese and brown sugar

-once combined, mix in half of the pumpkin puree. once combined, mix in the other half along with the pumpkin pie spice and salt

-unroll one of the pie sheets, using a pumpkin shaped cookie cutter cut out your pumpkins

(roll out the scraps to cut out a few more pumpkins. you should be able to get about 10 pumpkins per sheet)

-fill the center of each pumpkin with a tablespoon of the filling, leaving a small border around the edge

-brush the bare border of each filled pumpkin with the egg wash

-to the other half of the pumpkins, cut 4 slits to resemble the ridges of a real pumpkin

-place the other pie sheet on top, using a fork seal the edges

-once sealed coat the pie with the egg wash and sprinkle some cinnamon sugar on top

-bake at 400 for 12-14 mins

-enjoy
