Gently press rounds into 12 ungreased regular-size muffin cups, pressing folds of dough inside cups around sides to make smooth surface.

In large bowl, beat remaining ingredients until smooth. Fill each cup to top of dough.

Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan 10 minutes.

Run knife around edges of cups to loosen. Turn mini pies out onto cooling rack; turn pies over. If desired, top each with whipped cream. Serve immediately. Store in airtight container in refrigerator.

Canned pumpkin is sometimes labeled as “pure pumpkin.”
There will be a little leftover pumpkin mixture. You can either make a few more pies or make a quick mini pumpkin cobbler. Pour the leftover mixture into a small baking dish and sprinkle with 1 package maple-brown sugar instant oatmeal. Top with 1 teaspoon butter cut into small pieces. Bake at 350°F 25 to 30 minutes.
