Mini Pumpkin Pie Tarts - featured image

These Mini Pumpkin Pie Tarts are quick, easy, and made with simple ingredients. They come together in about 20 minutes and taste like actual Thanksgiving pie—just faster and cuter.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package refrigerated pie crust (2 sheets)
  • 1 cup (240g) pumpkin purée (100% pumpkin, not pie filling)
  • 1/2 cup (150g) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Lightly spray each cup of a standard 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.
  3. Unroll the refrigerated pie crust on a lightly floured surface. Use a 3-inch biscuit cutter or glass to cut out circles (about 5 per sheet, 10 total). Gently press each circle into a muffin cup, making sure it reaches the edges. Do not stretch the dough.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together pumpkin purée, sweetened condensed milk, egg, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract, and salt until completely smooth and uniform in color.
  5. Spoon the filling into each crust-lined cup, filling them about 3/4 full (about 2 tablespoons per tart).
  6. Bake on the middle rack for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the edges of the crust are golden brown and the filling is set around the edges but still slightly jiggly in the center.
  7. Let the tarts cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then carefully transfer them to a wire rack. Cool for at least 15 minutes before serving.

Notes

Do not overfill the crusts—fill 3/4 full. Watch the crust edges; if browning too fast, cover loosely with foil for the last 3 minutes. Let cool completely before serving to allow filling to set. Use room temperature ingredients for best texture.
