MINI PUMPKIN PIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Roll each pie crust out onto a floured surface to a rough rectangle about 11 inches square. Cut each pie crust into 12 3-inch rounds. Fit the little pie crust circles into 24 mini pie dishes.
• Separate one egg, and place the egg white into a small bowl. Beat the egg white until slightly frothy, and brush the edges of each mini pie crust with egg white. Place the remaining yolk into a bowl, and beat with remaining 2 eggs. Mix the softened cream cheese, sugar, pumpkin, vanilla extract, and pumpkin pie spice into the eggs to make a smooth filling. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the filling into each crust.
• Bake the pies in the preheated oven until the crust edges are golden brown and the filling is set, about 15 minutes. Allow to cool before eating.

INDIVIDUAL PUMPKIN PIES

Steps:

• Mix sugar, salt and spice in a bowl. Add eggs and beat slightly. Stir in corn syrup, pumpkin and evaporated milk; blend well.
• Portion baking cups in muffin pans and place 1 vanilla wafer in each. Fill each two-thirds full of pumpkin mixture.
• Bake at 300 degrees F for 25 minutes, or until knife inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pans for 5 minutes; remove.
• Cool a minimum of 1 hour before serving. Garnish as desired.

MINI PECAN PUMPKIN PIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray the bottoms and sides of the mini muffin tins with cooking spray.
• For the dough:
• In a food processor, pulse the pecans, sugar, salt, and flour, until the nuts are ground and the ingredients are combined. Add in the butter and pulse until dough resembles coarse meal. Slowly pour in the ice water through the feed tube until the dough comes together. Remove from processor bowl to a clean work surface sprinkled with flour. Form the dough into a ball and divide evenly into 24 pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and evenly press into each cup, until the bottom is covered. If the dough is sticky, dip your finger in flour first. Bake until the crusts are very golden, 15 to 18 minutes, until the crusts are very golden. Check periodically to make sure they don't get too brown. Meanwhile, make the filling: In a medium bowl, whisk the egg yolk, corn syrup, sugar, pumpkin filling and vanilla. Stir in the chopped pecans. Remove the dough from the oven and spoon 1 tablespoon of the filling into each cup. Top each with 1 pretty pecan half. Return the pans to the oven and continue baking, for 12 to 15 minutes more, until the pumpkin filling is set. Allow to cool before removing from the pans.

INDIVIDUAL PUMPKIN PIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Mix egg, pumpkin, sweetened condensed milk, half and half and spices. Mix until well combined but do not over mix (no need for an electric mixer).
• Pour or spoon into crusts. Place individual pies onto a baking sheet to make it easy to put them in and take them out of the oven.
• Place into oven and immediately reduce temperature to 350 degrees F. Bake for approximately 30-35 minutes, or until centers are set and a knife inserted into the center of a pie comes out clean. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely. Store in fridge until ready to serve. Top each pie with a dollop of COOL WHIP Whipped Topping.
• Optional Garnish
• Roll out pie crust onto a floured surface. Using small cookie cutters, cut out shapes approximately 1" in diameter. Transfer shapes onto a cookie sheet that has been lined with parchment paper. Brush shapes lightly with melted butter, then sprinkle with a mixture of cinnamon and sugar. Bake at 350 degrees for approximately 5 minutes or until starting to puff up and brown. Allow to cool, and serve on top of pies.
