One of my favorite things about fall is the comfort food, and pumpkin pie is on the top of that list.
But if we buy a full pumpkin pie at our house, inevitably part of it ends up going to waste, so we have started making mini pumpkin pies! These mini pumpkin pies allow me to satisfy my craving, while not wasting food. Plus these mini pumpkin pies turned out to be a baking project my 3-year-old loves!
You could even make these for Thanksgiving — everyone can enjoy their very own pie! Because who wants to share?
Read on for the recipe.
