These are delicious and my kids LOVE these in their lunchboxes.
I put them in frozen in the morning and they thaw nicely by lunchtime.

Mini Pumpkin Pies #1
1 cup canned pumpkin
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup milk
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1, 3 1/2 ounce box instant vanilla pudding
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1 pastry for double-crust pie (your favorite recipe or purchased)
Roll out pastry dough to 1/4 inch thickness.
Cut out 2 1/2 inch circles from the dough. You should have 15.
Place each circle in a muffin cup and push in to fit pan.
Heat oven to 350 degrees.
In a large bowl, beat together pumpkin, sugar, milk, egg and vanilla.
Add the pudding mix and beat until blended. It will thicken nicely.
Add spices. Stir to combine. Fill pastry crusts evenly.
Place in oven and bake for 30 minutes. Cool on rack.
To freeze:
When cool, place in a rigid freezer container with layers of waxed
paper in between. Freeze until needed.
To thaw: Thaw in the refrigerator or put in the microwave for about
1 minute. (Depends on the wattage of your microwave.)
