Mini Maple Pumpkin Pies image

I love to bake with my children, and this is one recipe my 3-year-old can help me make. We use our own maple syrup. Create your own designs for eyes and grins on these pumpkins, just like when you carve a jack-o'-lantern! -Allison Wilmarth, Forest City, Pennsylvania

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 cups all-purpose flour

On a lightly floured surface, roll each portion of dough to 1/8 in. thickness. Cut with a floured 3-1/2-in. pumpkin-shaped cookie cutter. Using a sharp knife, cut out pumpkin faces from half of the cutouts., Place about 2 tablespoons filling on each of the uncut pastries. Moisten pastry edges with water. Place remaining cutouts over filling. Press edges with a fork to seal., Transfer to greased baking sheets. Bake 22-24 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from pans to wire racks.

These mini pies are a great way to use up extra pie crust. I always have a few sheets of pie crust in my freezer, so it's nice to have a recipe that I can use them in.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I was happy to find a recipe for mini pumpkin pies that didn't include them. These pies are just as delicious without nuts.
