Roll the dough out on a flat surface, and use a cookie cutter or other circular object a little larger than the pie plate or tart pan to cut out two circles of dough.
Optionally, you can use a fall themed cookie cutter to cut out two fall shapes from the dough to serve on top of the pies as a decoration.
Press the dough circles into two well greased mini pie plates or tart pans.
In a bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, egg yolk, vanilla and sweetened condensed milk until smooth.
Spread the mixture into the pie plate or tart pans over the crust.
Bake for 20-25 minutes until just slightly still jiggly in the very center.
If choosing to use a dough shape decoration for your pie, bake those pieces until browned.
Let the pies cool to room temperature, and then top with the dough decoration if using.
Chill for 2 hours before serving.
Notes
Don’t overfill the pie crust. Fill the pie crusts until the mixture is just at the top of the crust. You can double or triple the recipe as needed to fill larger pans or additional ones.Check for doneness. Pies are done when the edges are browned and the filling in the center has set. There should be a slight jiggle in the center. Before removing from the pan, let the pies cool on a cooling rack.
Storage
Once cooled, place any leftover pie in an airtight container for up to 4 days in the refrigerator.To freeze, place pie in a freezer safe container or bag in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight then enjoy the next day.
