How fun is it to get your own little personal pumpkin pie for a special treat? I love these rustic Mini Pumpkin Pies topped with fresh Maple Caramel Whipped Cream!! So cute and easy to make because we are using store-bought pie crust! All you need is pumpkin pie filling for one pie, 2 - 9 inch refrigerated pie crusts, and some whipping cream, caramel and maple syrup to make a dreamy topping for your guests!
Shortcut for our Mini Pumpkin Pies! Yes!
(Sometimes, you need some shortcuts in your life!)
Of course, home-made is always preferred! So, if you have that 'pinned' pie crust recipe you've been dying to try or you have your favorite go-to pumpkin pie filling recipe that wouldn't be Thanksgiving or Christmas without, by all means, improvise to your liking for these mini versions of pumpkin pie.
And I should probably mention, this Maple Caramel Whipped Cream is the bomb! I could eat the whole bowlful, hands behind my back and not come up for air. So, if there's any left after the diving excursion, you can top off your rustic little mini pies with the whipped cream and enjoy a sweet little dessert or two. They are small remember? OK...Maybe three?

How to Make Mini Pumpkin Pies
Pumpkin pie filling for one 9-inch pie & Pie Crusts
- Prepare your pumpkin pie filling by mixing the sugar, salt and spice in small bowl. Beat eggs in large bowl. Stir in pumpkin and sugar-spice mixture. Gradually stir in evaporated milk.
- Unroll both of your pie doughs and lay flat.
- Using a bowl or 4 inch round cookie cutter, cut out 12 circles from your 2 9-inch pie crust doughs.
- Place each circle into a pre-greased 12 cup muffin tin pan and press into the bottom and up the sides of each muffin tin.
- Score the bottom of your dough with a fork (This is to keep the crust from bubbling up as it bakes.)
- Pour your pie filling into each muffin tin cup just shy of the top of the pie crust.
- Bake your muffin tin pumpkin pies at 425* for 15 minutes. Then turn your heat down to 350* and bake them for 25-30 minutes. (This is 15-20 minutes less than a regular pie)
- Let these cool on a wire rack for a couple of hours to let the pumpkin filling set.
Maple Caramel Whipped Cream
- Place a bowl in the fridge for 30 minutes, 15 minutes if you're in a hurry before using. It will help the cream whip faster.
- Whip 1 cup heavy cream until soft peaks form.
- Add 2 tablespoons maple syrup, 3 tablespoons caramel and ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract. Beat until stiff peaks form. If you want more flavor, add in more accordingly.
- Add a dollop of whipped cream to each individual muffin tin pie.
- Makes 12 individual portions
Hope you enjoy! Here's the recipe! Happy Baking!

The mini-pies are adorable, but the maple caramel whipped cream is even better - if that's possible. Thanks for stopping by our Happy Holidays Link Party - be sure to join us again this week (beginning on Saturday at 7 pm ET) and every week through the holidays.
