3. How to Make Spooky Mini Halloween Pies: Step-by-Step Instructions

Preparation of Pie Crusts

Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out your pie crusts and use a round cutter or glass to cut out small circles that fit into your mini muffin tin.

Filling the Pies

In a mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt. Mix until smooth and well combined. Spoon this delicious filling into each pie crust circle.

Assembling and Baking

Place the filled pie crusts into a greased mini muffin tin. Bake for about 15-20 minutes or until the crust edges are golden brown. Let them cool completely before decorating.

Decorating Your Spooky Halloween Pies

Once cooled, use whipped cream or frosting to create fun and spooky faces or patterns. Use food coloring for extra Halloween flair—think bright green or eerily black. You can add chocolate chips or candies for creepy eyes or other decorations.

4. Storage Tips for Mini Halloween Pies

These mini Halloween pies can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. For longer storage, freeze them and thaw in the refrigerator before serving. Just make sure to add decorations right before serving for the best spooky effect.
