4unbaked 9-inch pie crusts, I used refrigerated pie crust
1whisked egg for egg wash
Pie Filling
3/4cupgranulated sugar
1tspground cinnamon
1/2tspsalt
1/2tspground ginger
1/4tspground cloves
2large eggs
1 15ozcan pumpkin puree
1can evaporated milk
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease tartlette pan. Roll out pie crust on a flat surface. Using a glass slightly wider than the size of the tartlette, cut circles into pie dough with rim of glass. Repeat and re-roll dough as needed. Cut enough to make 24 mini pies. With remaining dough, cut leaf shapes.
Place pie dough rounds into molds and press gently, shaping into the molds.
To make the pie filling, combine the sugar, cinnamon, salt, ginger and cloves in a medium bowl. Add the eggs and pumpkin and stir until incorporated. Add the evaporated milk and stir until smooth.
Pour pie filling into pie crust, almost completely to the top, but leaving just enough space so they don't spill over when you are moving them into the oven
Bake mini pies for about 20-25 minutes or until crust is golden and pie filling is solid. Let pies cool in pan. Meanwhile, place leaves on cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush surface with egg wash. Bake for 10-15 minutes until leaves are golden. Let leaves cool for a few minutes and then place on top of mini pies.
