Fall/Winter and pumpkin pie are just a perfect fit and a seasonal favorite of every pie lover. And instead of making one big pie I decided to come up with these mini pumpkin pies so everyone gets his/her very own pie. It’s a great option for any party of family meet up. In my case I brought them to our companies Christmas party.
Prepping them is super easy and was kind of a family project. I came up with the recipe inspiration, my dad was responsible for cracking our picked walnuts, and my mom helped me prepping the pies. š
I hope you’ll enjoy these delectable pies as much as we did!
