How Will I Know if My Pumpkin Pies are Done?

To know that the pumpkin pies are done, give them a little shake and see if they jiggle much or at all.

If they are done, you should see very little jiggling and the crust will become a nice, slightly golden brown color.

You can also use an Instant read thermometer to check the internal temperature and see if the pie has reached 175F or 79C.

Can I Use Frozen Pie Crust?

No, for this recipe you will want to make sure that your pie crust has defrosted and come to room temperature.

This will ensure that you are able to form the dough to the shape needed to create the mini pie shells, as well as make sure the pie crust is cooked through all the way without overcooking the pumpkin pie filling.

How Do I Store Mini Pumpkin Pies?

Once the pies are done baking and have come to room temperature then you can either serve them or save them for later.

If you would like to keep the pies for later, simply keep them in an airtight container, preferably not stacked, and in the fridge for 3-5 days.

How to Make Mini Pumpkin Pies in the Air Fryer:

Step 1: Create the Pie Filling

Start by mixing together the pumpkin puree, condensed milk, brown sugar, pumpkin spice, and salt in a medium mixing bowl.

Whisk it all together until it is well combined and has no lumps, and then set it aside.

Step 2: Shape the Pie Crust

Using the premade pie dough, lay it out on a flat lightly floured surface or a silicone cookie sheet.

Then use either the bigger side of the muffin liner or ramekin (whichever you choose to use) and place it on the dough as many times as it will fit, pressing it into the dough to create the shape for the crust.

You should be able to get 8-12 mini pie crusts by the time you are done.

Step 3: Prepare the Pie Shells

Now, place the pie dough cutouts into either the muffin liner or the ramekin, and try your best to press it into the lightly greased dish on the sides.

Do not stretch the dough. If you need to, cut the dough in order to make it fit the shape of the dish.

Step 4: Fill the Pie Crust

After you have the crust set up in the dishes, pour about 1 – 1 ½ tablespoons of the pumpkin pie filling into each of the mini pie crusts.

Step 5: Cook the Pies

When the pies are all assembled, place them carefully into the bottom of the air fryer basket, leaving a little space between them.

I can get about 7-8 of them in the 5.8qt air fryer basket just for reference. But you will most likely have to work in batches.

Then turn the air fryer on at 330F or 165C for 5-8 minutes or until they are mostly set up or reach an internal temperature of 175F or 79C.

Step 6: Let the Pies Rest

Once the pies are done baking in the air fryer, allow them to set out and rest for at least 20 minutes to let them finish setting up completely.

Then carefully remove them from the liners and serve them with some whipped cream and top them with some pumpkin spice blend or ground cinnamon.
