Pumpkin Pie Tarts


Thank you E.D.SMITH and Tenderflake
Here is a simple and yummy recipe for Pumpkin Pie Tarts. I know my house loved them. You need two boxes of tenderflake tart shells or you can get one box and freeze the other half or filling.

Take your tarts out of the freezer for 10 minutes so you can separate without breaking them.
Preheat 425F

3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1/2 tsp  salt
1 pkg of vanilla pudding mix (you don't make the pudding you just use the powder)
1 can pure pumpkin (about 1 3/4 cups)
1 can evaporated milk
2 eggs, beaten
Line your pan with the tarts and then in a mixing bowl mix sugar pumpkin pie spice salt and vanilla pudding mix. In another bowl mix pure pumpkin evaporated milk and eggs beaten one at a time. Add dry ingredients to wet then I used a 1/4 measuring cup and filled the tarts up.

This recipe will make 24 tarts but I only bought one box which is 12 tart shells so I freezed the other half so remember to buy two boxes or freeze the other half. 

Put them in the oven at 425F for 15 minutes then turn the oven down to 350F and bake for another 35-40 minutes. When knife in center comes out clean they are done. They'll puff up but then flatten back out when cooled. I add cool whip then served and they are good.. Enjoy..

Next PIE



I used a box mix for the pie crust but you can make your own. I love this pie because after it is cooled it will be thick and when you slice a piece it doesn't fall apart..

Blueberry Pie Filling

4 cup blueberries
1/2 cup sugar
1/8 tsp salt
5 tbls tapioca flour
1 tbls water
1/2 tsp cinnamon
Wash the berries and pat dry. Mash up half of the blueberries in a small bowl.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the sugar, salt and tapioca flour. Add the mashed blueberries, water and cinnamon, stir to combine. Let the mixture sit for 15 minutes. Fold in the whole berries.

I made my crust when I was waiting the 15min for the mixture to sit. I just followed the box for the temperature for the oven..

I love the pie all by itself but you can try it with some ice cream...
