Delicious Mini Sweet Potato Pies for Thanksgiving
These mini pies feature a buttery crust filled with a creamy sweet potato mixture, topped with toasted marshmallows for a sweet finish. The recipe takes about 1 hour from start to finish and makes 12 mini pies.
Ingredients
- 1 cup sweet potato puree (cooked and mashed)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 1 pre-made pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare the Pie Crust: Roll out the pie crust and cut it into circles to fit a muffin tin. Press the circles into the muffin tin cups to form mini pie shells.
- Make the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the sweet potato puree, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, vanilla extract, and eggs. Mix until smooth and well combined.
- Fill the Crusts: Spoon the sweet potato filling into each mini pie crust, filling them about 3/4 full.
- Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is set.
- Add Marshmallows: Remove the pies from the oven and top each one with mini marshmallows. Return to the oven and broil for 1-2 minutes, or until the marshmallows are golden brown.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the mini pies to cool slightly before removing them from the muffin tin. Serve warm or at room temperature.
