    Welcome to My Kitchen Serenity!  With fall fast approaching, we have pumpkin, spice, and everything nice on our minds.  The little pies are easy to make, easy to eat, and easy to transport.  They're a delicious treat all by themselves or served with coffee, milk, or hot tea.  They're the perfect pumpkin pie you can eat without utensils 🙂

     

    These little personal pies have all the same flavors you love in a classic pumpkin pie, but in a smaller, cuter version.  Top them off with some whipped cream and cinnamon for an elegant final touch.  They're such a nice addition to your Thanksgiving or Christmas dessert menu.

     

    Traditional pumpkin pie spices include cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.  We use evaporated milk because it really does make a HUGE difference in the moistness and richness of the recipe. 

     

    What Kind of Crust for Pumpkin Pie?

    For me, ready-made pie crusts are time-saving and taste terrific. I almost always use them instead of making a pie crust. Use a biscuit cutter, cookie cutter, or wide mouth mason jar lid as the template for cutting 3-inch circles of crust for these pies.

     

     

    Use pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling!).  This is probably the most common question regarding recipes that use pumpkin puree.  The puree contains ONLY pumpkin - no sugar, spices, or fillers.  Just plain ole pumpkin, that's it.  I also use the canned pumpkin puree for my Pumpkin Pecan Spice Cake.

    Transporting Baked Pies

    So now that you’ve made these delicious mini pies, what the best way to transport them?  I recently discovered a plastic carrier that’s perfect for transporting pies, muffins, and cupcakes.  It’s the Southern Homewares 3-in-1 Plastic Holder Container.  It offers easy-grip handles, a snap-tight lid, and it’s made out of durable plastic.  Available now on Amazon!

     

    Storing Baked Pies

    Keep your pumpkin pies fresh by storing them in the refrigerator.  Store them covered, in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
