Buttery, flaky crusts filled with a rich, gooey maple custard and topped with a kiss of flaky sea salt—these mini pies are a fall dessert dream in bite-sized form.
Perfect for holiday spreads, cozy gatherings, or afternoon tea.
Crust
1 sheet refrigerated pie dough (or homemade)
Flour, for dusting
Filling
½ cup pure maple syrup
¼ cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 large egg
2 tablespoons heavy cream or half-and-half
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Topping
Flaky sea salt, for finishing
Optional Twists
Add 1 tablespoon chopped pecans to each pie for crunch
Mix in ½ teaspoon cinnamon or bourbon for added depth
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a mini muffin pan.
Roll out pie dough on a floured surface. Cut into 12 rounds using a 3-inch cutter. Press into muffin tin wells.
In a bowl, whisk maple syrup, brown sugar, butter, egg, cream, vanilla, and salt until smooth.
Spoon filling into each crust, about ¾ full.
Bake for 18–22 minutes, until filling is set and crust is golden.
Cool slightly, then sprinkle each with a pinch of flaky sea salt.
