The Pie’s the Limit!
The best part of any holiday meal (I mean, besides celebrating with loved ones) has to be dessert. Take me to the pie table, y’all! And that brings me to the hardest part of any holiday meal. Choosing which pie to devour. Pumpkin? Apple? Pecan? Argh! Well, now you don’t have to choose. With One-Pan Mini Thanksgiving Pies, you can make all three in one easy-to-follow recipe! You can thank me later.
I maintain that pre-made pie crusts are so handy and almost as good as homemade (don’t get mad at me, team homemade pie crust). Of course, if you have the time and passion, use your favorite homemade pie crust recipe for these mini pies. If you want to keep it quick and simple, use pre-made pie crusts, like I did!
How to Make One-Pan Mini Thanksgiving Pies Three Ways
First, preheat the oven to 375°F. Then spray 24 mini muffin cups with non-stick cooking spray.
Next, open and unfold one thawed pie crust at a time onto a lightly floured surface. Then, with a 2.5 inch round biscuit or cookie cutter, cut 24 rounds. Repeat with remaining pie crust. From the extra pie crust, cut mini leaf or fall-themed shapes for garnishing the Pumpkin Pie Bites.
Then, in the prepared mini muffin cups, press 1 round of pie crust into the bottom and up the sides of each cup.
Pecan Pie Bites: In a medium bowl, first whisk together butter, brown sugar, corn syrup, vanilla, and egg. Then stir in chopped pecans. Spoon into 8 of the pie-crust lined cups.
Pumpkin Pie Bites: In a medium bowl, first combine the pumpkin puree, cream cheese, light brown sugar, egg, and pumpkin pie spice. Then, using a hand mixer, beat until smooth. Spoon into 8 of the pie-crust lined cups.
Apple Pie Bites: In a medium bowl, first combine apples, butter, vanilla, light brown sugar, flour, cinnamon and nutmeg. Toss to combine well. Then spoon into 8 of the pie-crust lined cups.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the pies begin to set in the center. The pecan pie filling with puff up, but settle back down once the pies are removed from the oven. Allow to cool for 10 minutes or so before removing from muffin pan.
While the pies cool, place the fall-theme shaped pie crust pieces on a baking sheet and bake until golden, about 10 minutes. Finally, garnish some of the pie bites with whipped cream and a decorative pie crust shape, if desired.
Serve and Enjoy!
