Directions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F. Using about 2 tablespoons of the oil or cooking spray, grease the mini pie pans then set aside.
Follow the directions here to make the pie crust dough. Divide the dough into six evenly sized-balls. Place them in a bowl or on a plate and cover with a damp kitchen towel.
Take one ball, leaving the rest covered under the damp kitchen towel. Carefully roll out the pie crust and then gently place it in a greased mini pie pan, allowing the excess to hang over the edge. Don't worry if it breaks at all! You can press the crust back together. Press the dough into the cups, creating a rim. Repeat these prepping steps with the remaining dough balls.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin pie filling ingredients until smooth.
Divide the filling evenly among the prepared pie crusts.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is set.
Let cool completely before serving.
