Ingredients

15 ounce package ready-to-bake pie crusts
15 ounce can pumpkin puree not pumpkin pie filling
12 ounce evaporated milk
¾ cup brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
Toppings: Whipped cream and ground cinnamon if desired

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425°F and spray a 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.
Mix pumpkin pie filling ingredients in a large mixing bowl until smooth. Divide filling among the mini pie shells, taking care not to overfill each muffin tin.
Place in the pre-heated oven and bake for 10 minutes.
Reduce temperature to 350 and bake an additional 12-14 minutes, until pie filling is just set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove from oven and cool for 10-15 minutes before removing from muffin tins. Chill before serving and top with whipped cream.

Notes

If you leave the corner muffin tin open, you'll have an easy way to grip the pan when taking it out of the oven.

To know when your pie is done: Look for those telltale signs: the crust edges turning a beautiful light brown, and the filling bubbling with delight.

You can also test with by inserting a butter knife into the center and see if it comes out runny or set. Cover it with some whipped cream later and no one will be the wiser!
