Pumpkin Pie Bites

Ingredients:

• Your favorite pie dough..or use one of the recipes on this blog.
• Pumpkin pie filling
• Whipped cream

1. Mix pie dough, roll out as for pie.
2. Using a small round cookie cutter, (I used a 1 3/4″ cookie cutter) cut as many bites as you will need.
3. Prick each bite with a fork.
4. Bake at 450º for 8 minutes or until golden in color.
5. Cool, then pipe or spoon on filling. If piping, you can use a plastic baggie, fill halfway with filling, cut a small hole in one corner of the baggie and squeeze out the filling onto the baked pie crust round.
6. Use the same method for whipped cream, pipe or spoon on top of the pumpkin.
7. Sprinkle with cinnamon.
