Holiday treats?

So with Thanksgiving coming up and Christmas right around the corner I was thinking it would be cool to post your fav holiday treat recipe! Don't forget to label your recipe Holiday treats. I'll go first...

I love bite-sized food and I love pumpkin pie. A couple weeks ago I made Mini Pumpkin Pies! It's so simple. Just use your fav pumpkin pie filling recipe. Here's mine:

• 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree
• 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
• 2 egg yolks
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 egg whites

In a large bowl, mix together the pumpkin, sweetened condensed milk, and egg yolks. Stir in 1 teaspoon cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt. In a large glass or metal bowl, whip egg whites until soft peaks form. Gently fold into pumpkin mixture.

Putting Your Mini Pies Together

Preheat the oven to 425. You will not be baking at this temperature. However, you want to make your oven nice and hot. Line your cupcake tins with cupcake liners.

I use ready-made pie crust to make my life easier. Remove half of the dough from the fridge and roll it out on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4 inch thick. Use a 3 1/2 inch diameter circle cookie cutter to cut the dough into circles. Press the center of your circle into the bottom of a cupcake liner and work the rest into the bottom of the liner and up the sides. It should come about 3/4 of the way up the side.

Pour the pumpkin pie filling into the pie dough cups. Each cup should be slightly more than halfway full.

Lower the oven temp to 375. Bake for 20-30 minutes or until the pie is set (doesn't wiggle around when you touch it.)

Enjoy!
