Bite-Sized Pumpkin Pie Cheesecakes

My husband is convinced that every dessert is better when it's mini. I think it's his subtle way of finding an excuse to eat more! And when desserts are as good as these Pumpkin Pie Cheesecakes, you're going to want to eat a lot. Don't worry, though! This recipe makes a lot!

How to make Bite-Sized Pumpkin Pie Cheesecakes

You'll start by making the crusts, combining graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar, until the crumbs are fully moistening. The sugar helps to stabilize the crusts, so don't skip this step! Press the crusts into the bottom of the cups of a mini cupcake pan. You can line the pan with paper liners or spray non-stick spray before doing so!

To make the filling, you combine cream cheese and brown sugar in one bowl, and combine all the remaining ingredients in another bowl. Then combine the two bowls! Spoon the filling over top of the crusts, filling the cups to the top, and then bake! Once baked, let cool for a bit, and then refrigerate for at least an hour. Enjoy these chilled!

These are a creative alternative to your standard Thanksgiving pies, and make a perfect fall treat!
