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.

PERSONAL-MINI PUMPKIN PIE
I was craving pumpkin pie, and started thinking about a way to make smaller servings that I could ration out. I didn't want to make one big pie (in fear that I might actually eat the entire thing! Ha ha), so...I came up with this idea. Hope you all enjoy it!

Tips:
- Choose the right pumpkin: Use a small sugar or pie pumpkin, which has a sweeter flavor and denser texture than larger pumpkins.
- Roast the pumpkin yourself: Roasting the pumpkin brings out its natural sweetness and flavor. You can roast the pumpkin in the oven or in a slow cooker.
- Make the pumpkin puree ahead of time: You can make the pumpkin puree up to 3 days in advance and store it in the refrigerator. This will save you time on the day you're making the pies.
- Use a pre-made pie crust: If you're short on time, you can use a pre-made pie crust. Just be sure to pre-bake it according to the package directions.
- Don't overfill the pie crusts: The pies will puff up as they bake, so don't fill the pie crusts more than 2/3 full.
- Bake the pies until they are set: The pies are done baking when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the pies cool completely before serving: The pies will continue to set as they cool, so it's important to let them cool completely before serving.
Conclusion:
These personal mini pumpkin pies are the perfect fall dessert. They're easy to make, delicious, and festive. With a few simple tips, you can make these pies even better. Enjoy!
