97. Try making a new recipe each month - November

Pumpkin Pie in a Jar!

Who doesn't love pumpkin pie?? Well Erin and I have just made that experience better! We made pumpkin pie in a jar for individual consumption!

Ingredients:
For a serving size of 12 jars
Pumpkin pie filing - double the recipe
 (however you'd normally make it, everyone is different - we used this one)
3 frozen pie crusts
12 mason jars

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to cook the pie crusts (check temperature depending on the crust)
2.  Cook crusts for half the time allotted, around 5 minutes is perfect
3.  Mix the pie filing just as you normally would for a regular pie
**REMEMBER: Double the recipe
4.  Once the pie crusts are cooked and cooled, mash up one and a half of them into crumbles
5.  Change the oven temperature to adjust for the pies to 400 degrees
6.  Fill the bottom of the jars evenly with the mashed up crust
7.  Pour the pie filing into the mason jars, leaving about 1/4 of the jar empty
8.  Place the jars on a cooking tray and place into the oven for 15 MINUTES
9.  Once they have cooked for 15 minutes, change the temperature to 350 degrees and cook for another 15 minutes
10.  Take your favorite cookie cutter and make 12 little cookies out of the rest of the baked pie crusts
11. Brush melted butter onto the cut outs and sprinkle sugar over them
12.  Place the cookies on top of the pie
 **Make sure that the pie is cooked enough that they won't fall into the filing - try one and if it starts falling in, cook the pie a little longer!
13.  Cook the pies for about 5 minutes longer with the cookies on top
14.  Let them cool for about an hour before putting them into the fridge for about 3 hours
If you'd like, top them off with a fun decoration!! COMPLETE!

And REMEMBER! Never bake alone!
