Ingredients
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
pinch of ground cloves
1 egg
1/2 can pumpkin purée
2 packages of pie crust, cut into four 5 1/2-inch discs
milk (for brushing on jack-o'-lanterns
Instructions
Mix sugar, cinnamon, ginger and cloves in a small bowl and set aside.
Beat one egg and whisk with pumpkin purée until smooth. Whisk in sugar mix.
Next, gradually mix in evaporated milk.
Place pie crusts in 4.5-inch to 5-inch tart tins and using a fork, poke holes in the bottom of the crust. Bake for 6-7 minutes at 375° F.
Fill pie crusts with pumpkin pie batter and bake for 25-30 minutes at 350° F.
With the remaining pie crust, cut out four jack-o'-lanterns using a cookie cutter. Brush them with a little bit of milk.
Bake jack-o'-lanterns on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper for 8 minutes at 400 ° F.
Once done baking, place jack-o'-lanterns on top of pies and serve.
