Mini Pumpkin Pies
I love pumpkin pie. And chocolate pie, and apple pie, oh and cherry pie… Okay picking one favorite pie is impossible! The good thing though, no picking with these mini pies! This Thanksgiving my in laws will be traveling to our house. I’m sure you could have guessed but I kinda like to cook 😉 And cooking on Thanksgiving is pretty much my super bowl. I can’t wait and have my menu all planned out. Since I can’t pick a pie I’m just making them all but in mini form!

How to make Mini Pumpkin Pies:
Preheat oven then spray a muffin tin with non stick cooking spray and set aside. Cream together cream cheese and sugar then add in eggs. Next you need to beat in vanilla and pumpkin puree. Roll out pie crust dough you will want to cut large enough circle to fit into your pie crust but they don’t need to run over. Use a round cookie cutter or anything round that will cut it. I actually use large mason jar lids. Place them in your prepares muffin tin. Fill each with your pumpkin puree. Now just bake and once done allow to cool on a cooling rack then top with whipped cream and enjoy.
