FAQs

Can I use store-bought crust for Mini Pumpkin Pies?

Yes, store-bought crust can be used for convenience – in fact it’s what I use! You could also use a homemade crust if you prefer.

How do I know when the pies are done?

The pies are done when the filling is set and no longer jiggles when lightly shaken.

How can I avoid a soggy crust?

Pre-baking the crust, also known as blind baking, can help prevent a soggy bottom.

Can these mini pies be frozen?

Yes, they freeze well and can be reheated when ready to serve. After baking, cool completely, then arrange on a baking sheet and freeze. Once frozen solid, transfer to a freezer bag and freeze for up to 6 months. To serve, defrost in the fridge and warm in the oven if desired.

Can I make these ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the pies a day or two in advance and store covered in the fridge until ready to serve.

Expert Tips

  • Quality Ingredients – Always use high-quality ingredients. Fresh spices, canned pumpkin puree.
  • Blind Bake the Crust – This is completely optional and not absolutely necessary, but pre-baking the crusts can prevent them from getting soggy once the filling is added.
  • Proper Mixing – Ensure that all the filling ingredients are thoroughly mixed for a smooth, consistent texture. Overmixing, however, can incorporate too much air and cause the pies to crack while baking.
  • Use Non-Stick Cooking Spray – Generously spray the muffin cups with cooking spray to avoid sticking. There’s nothing worse than a ruined dessert that won’t release from the pan.
  • Portion Control – Use a cookie scoop or a small ice cream scoop to ensure equal portions of the filling in each mini pie.
  • Avoid Overfilling – Be careful not to overfill the crusts. The filling will expand as it bakes, and overfilled pies may spill over.
  • Oven Position – Bake the pies in the center of the oven where the heat is most consistent.
  • Use a Preheated Oven – Preheating your oven will help the pies to cook evenly and could prevent a soggy crust.
  • Cooling Time – Allow the pies to cool completely before serving to ensure the filling is set.
  • Add Personal Touches – Get creative with your pies. You can top them with whipped cream, sprinkle them with extra cinnamon or nutmeg, or even drizzle with caramel for a unique twist.
