These easy mini pumpkin pies are individually sized cupcake-portion pies with a flaky premade crust and a perfectly spiced pumpkin filling. They bake up in a standard muffin tin in about 30 minutes and are a great make-ahead dessert for Thanksgiving or any fall occasion.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray a standard muffin tin with non-stick spray.
Unroll the pie crust and use a 4-inch round cookie cutter to cut as many rounds as possible, rerolling as needed. Press each round into a muffin tin cavity.
In a medium bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, salt, eggs, and buttermilk until smooth.
Measure one heaping tablespoon of pumpkin filling into each prepared crust.
Bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes, then reduce heat to 325 degrees and bake for an additional 6 to 8 minutes until edges are browned and centers are set.
Remove from oven and cool completely before removing from tin.
Top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice before serving.
Notes
**Storage**
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Add whipped cream just before serving.**Recipe Tips**
* Reroll the pie crust dough as many times as needed to get the most rounds possible.
* Run a butter knife around each pie before removing from the tin.
* Serve chilled with whipped cream added right before serving.
* Make these the day before — they taste better after chilling overnight.
