RECIPE TIPS
- The pumpkin pie mix already contains sugar and pumpkin pie spice which reduces the ingredients needed for this recipe. Pumpkin puree won’t be a good substitute for the convenience of using pumpkin pie mix since it’s completely plain.
- The regular size of cinnamon rolls works the best for these mini pumpkin pies, not the jumbo size. While I haven’t specified a particular brand of canned cinnamon rolls, you can’t go wrong with Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls.
- Even though these are “mini” pumpkin pies, you’ll need to use a regular-sized muffin tin, not a mini muffin tin.
- Make sure you allow your freshly baked mini pumpkin pies to cool for a bit before eating – the pumpkin pie filling will be very hot straight out of the oven.
How to Make Cinnamon Roll Mini Pumpkin Pies
- Preheat the oven to 350 F and grease 8 cups in a muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray.
- Open the cinnamon roll package and separate each roll. Sprinkle some flour on a flat surface and use a rolling pin to roll each cinnamon roll until it’s flat.
- Carefully press each cinnamon roll into the muffin pan to form a cup.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin pie mix, evaporated milk, and egg until smooth and well combined.
- Spoon the pumpkin mixture into the cinnamon roll cups.
- Place the pan in the oven to bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the edges of the cinnamon rolls are golden brown.
- Allow to cool in the pan until safe to touch, then transfer the pie cups to a wire cooling rack to cool completely before serving.
HOW TO STORE CINNAMON ROLL MINI PUMPKIN PIES
- These cinnamon roll mini pumpkin pies can be stored, once completely cool, in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Make sure that they are stored in an airtight container. You can also wrap them individually in plastic wrap if you like to preserve your leftover pies better.
CAN I FREEZE THESE CINNAMON ROLL MINI PUMPKIN PIES?
- Yes, you can! Once completely cool, place your mini pies on a baking tray and flash freeze them for 1-2 hours. Once hardened, wrap them individually in plastic wrap and then store them either in a Ziploc bag or an airtight container.
HOW SHOULD I SERVE THESE MINI PUMPKIN PIES?
- These mini pumpkin pies are so delicious just as they are but you could top them with some whipped cream or serve them alongside a scoop or two of ice cream.
- The icing provided in the can of Pillsbury canned cinnamon rolls could also be used as a topping option which can be drizzled over the pumpkin pies. It’ll give an extra boost of cinnamon flavor to the mini pumpkin pies.
