Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly flour a clean surface.
  2. Roll out the premade pie crust until it's about 1/8 inch thick. Cut out 12 rounds using a 2½-inch round cutter.
  3. Press each round into an ungreased mini muffin tin to form cups.

  6. Pipe the filling into each cooled pie crust shell generously.
