Alternatives to Puff Pastry

One of the best parts about this recipe is how versatile it can be!

You can use store bought puff pastry like I did for this recipe. It’s perfect if you’re short on time and want to make this recipe for a holiday gathering.

Another option is to buy premade pie crust. This shouldn’t change anything else in the recipe but the bake time may be different.

Lastly, the most time consuming option would be to make your own homemade puff pastry dough or pie crust.

Whichever path you choose, this recipe will still come out absolutely delicious!

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these mini pumpkin pies gluten free?

They are gluten free if you use gluten free pie crust or gluten free puff pastry dough. The filling is naturally gluten free.

Can I use alternative sugar options?

Instead of granulated sugar, you can use monk fruit sweetener or coconut sugar as a 1:1 replacement.

Instead of maple syrup you can substitute honey or date syrup at a 1:1 ratio.

How do I know the mini pies are done baking?

They are done baking when the puff pastry has risen and has a golden color on the outside and bottom. The pumpkin pie filling will also be fully baked and have no jiggle when you move the pan.

Can I make these ahead of an occasion or event?

I don’t recommend making these more than one day in advance. When ready to eat, reheat at 400 degrees F for about 5 minutes

What is the best way to store?

Store at room temperature in an air tight container for up to 1-2 days. If you need to, freeze after 2 days for up to 1 month in a freezer-safe container.
