Mini Pumpkin Pie Tarts
These Mini Pumpkin Pie Tarts are perfect for the holiday season! I make these way in advance and store them in the freezer. One less thing I have to worry about making the week of Thanksgiving. If you have someone in your family that is crazy about pumpkin pie this is the perfect little gift for them! Surprise them with a batch of these Mini Pumpkin Pie Tarts. They can freeze them and have pumpkin pie for the next few months….if they last that long. 😆
I used my families favorite pumpkin pie recipe and divided it into 8 mini tarts.
