Mini Sweet Potato Pie Recipe

Mini Sweet Potato Pie Recipe

I love sweet potato pie, but I want the pie to crust ratio to be just right.  My solution: mini sweet potato pies.  What I love about this recipe is that it only takes 25 minutes to cook!  These little pies are so cute, they cook up in muffin tins.  This is a fun and easy recipe for Thanksgiving dessert.

When making regular pies, they need to cook for 1 hour.

Going into the oven

I got fancy this year, cutting dough with cookie cutters to create tiny leaves.  I scored the lines on top with a knife and I felt like that was a really nice touch!

So cute!

 

You can also use this recipe to make two full size pies.  Just cook for 1 hour.  Or until a knife comes out clean when inserted into the center.
