You can use a homemade pie dough recipe if you really want but I like to use a premade crescent roll crust. They are buttery and convenient. Making these poppers is so quick this way it’s my favorite way to quickly whip up some mini pumpkin goodness.
Pumpkin Pie Poppers
Baking great pumpkin pie poppers is a breeze with this recipe. It lends itself well to some experimentation too. So if you like replacing eggs with just the yolks or adding an extra pinch of spice you can do so!
I make a lot of muffins and pies so I experiement with techniques and flavor combos I get from those recipes and try them out. But don’t worry, this recipe is amazing as is so if experimenting isn’t your thing you are set to go.
