These Maple-Bourbon Pumpkin Pie Bites are everything you love about pumpkin pie, but better! Don’t get me wrong, I love the classic, but this one is sweetened with maple syrup and flavored with a hint of bourbon, all in one perfect bite. You won’t be able to eat just one, trust me, I know.
Don’t forget to top them off with Cinnamon Bourbon Whipped Cream! It is the perfect topping.
These take very little time to make, especially if you are using pre-made pie crust. Make sure the box you grab has 2 crusts in it. The box I used was 15oz and it made approximately 40 pie bites.
Homemade pie dough can also be used for this, but that will add extra time. This recipe is easily made gluten free by using a gluten free pie crust as the filling is already gluten free.
