Mini Pumpkin Pies Recipe– Made with Cheese & Crackers

Prep Time: 25 Minutes Cook Time: 0 Minutes Total Time: 25 Minutes Servings: 12 Mini Cracker Pies

Surprise your kids, guests, or the wonderful people in your life with these adorable mini pumpkin pies. Completely made from cheese and crackers. You can use them as your next April Fool’s joke, or Halloween party or use them as little savory appetizers. Your friends will be trying to figure out how you got fresh pumpkin to look so uniform.

I think that this would be perfect around Thanksgiving or fall (my favorite season). Or even as an April fool’s joke. Believe me, they will be a big hit at your next get-together. I love creating super cute foods. These Mini Pumpkin Pies Snacks are just that!

It’s the perfect fall party finger food. The best part of all is creating your little pies. You can get your kids involved. Easy, cheesy, and sure to please.

Not Really Mini Pies At All

To make the little pie slices, we just use two types of crackers, cheddar cheese and cream cheese. (We used Triscuits because they are already in triangle shapes, but you can try using a square cracker and cut it in half – it may be a bit tricky!)

I think the little dollop of cream cheese “whipped cream” gives them the perfect finishing touch!

Ingredients Needed

Scroll down to the bottom of this post for a printable version of this recipe, including instructions and simple ingredients.

• Extra sharp cheddar cheese (I used Cracker Barrel)
• Whipped Cream Cheese
• Triscuit crackers or another triangle-shaped cracker
• Chicken in a Biskit crackers

Instructions To Make Mini Pumpkin Pie Crackers

These cute little appetizers are fun to make (it’s a great idea to get the kids involved in preparing Thanksgiving dinner) and fun to serve.

You will get a lot of ohs and ahh’s when your guests see them on your Thanksgiving table!

Step One: First, you will want to start by cutting your cheddar cheese into thick slices. They need to be on the thicker side in order to look like a real slice of pumpkin pie.

Step Two: Next, place a slice of cheese on the Triscuit cracker. This is going to be your template. Who would have thought that your crackers would be your blueprints for this recipe?

Step 3: AND of course, I am sure you can figure out what you will be doing next. YUP! Slice the cheese to form a triangle that will fit the Triscuit cracker. Don’t worry if some of the cheese (as pictured below) doesn’t quite fit your cracker.

That will be hidden later on.

Step Four: This is the trickiest part! Cut approximately ⅓ of the Chicken in a Biskit cracker.

I found it’s easiest to make sure to use even pressure and make a quick cut. It may not be perfect, but pumpkin pie tastes delicious no matter how perfect it looks. It will make these appetizers look more authentic.

Step Five: Your next step is to add a few spoonfuls of whipped cream cheese into a zipper-locked sandwich bag.

Unless full, remove all the air and cut a very tiny hole in the corner of the bag. You are going to be using this as a homemade piping bag.

Step Six: It’s time to put your ‘pies’ together! Place your cheese slice on the Triscuit. Using a thin line of cream cheese, attach your larger chicken in a Biskit cracker on the back of the pie slice.

Step Seven: Again, using your cream cheese, attach the smaller piece of the Chicken in a Biskit cracker on top of the cheese where it meets the cracker.

This forms your pie’s ‘crust’ in a matter of minutes. And your imperfections of the cheese seen from step 3 are now completely hidden.

Step Eight: In the center of the cheese, squeeze a dollop of cream cheese. It will look just like you topped your pie with whipped cream! Viola! Your first mini pumpkin pie made from cheese & crackers is all done.

Surprise… they’re actually cheese! Easy, right? Your guests are just going to adore these Mini Pumpkin Pie snacks. You can mix up cheese to your favorite kind.
