Preheat oven to 425°F and spray a 24-cup mini muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
Cut pie crust out into circles using a wide-mouth jar lid. Push pie circles down into the muffin cups. If needed, gently knead and roll out any extra dough left from the rings to make a total of 21 circles.
