You can’t get through the holidays without a slice of pumpkin pie. 

We have the easiest way to make the perfect and delicious pumpkin pie.

You can also make mini pumpkin pies by using a 4-inch cookie cutter or template to cut the pie crust then fill with 2 tablespoons of the pumpkin mixture. Just lay crust into cupcake pan, fill and bake. Bake for 25 minutes or until set. 

Here we use a store-bought refrigerated crust to make a big time-saver.

I always say that people aren’t coming for the crust, it’s the pie filling that everyone wants.

Although I do use evaporated milk, you can substitute with buttermilk or half & half. 

I also use brown sugar, but you can use granulated sugar BUT I like the taste of the brown sugar much better. 

You can also just use ground cinnamon (2 tsp) if you don’t have the pumpkin pie spice. 

Best part is just having fun making!
