Preheat oven to 425°F and spray a 12-cup muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.

Cut pie crust into circles using a wide-mouth jar lid. Push pie circles down into the muffin cups. If needed, gently knead and roll out any extra dough left from the rings to make a total of 12 circles.

Mix pumpkin pie filling ingredients in a large mixing bowl until smooth. Divide filling among the mini pie shells. You may have some left over.

Place in the pre-heated oven and bake for 10 minutes. Reduce temperature to 350 and bake an additional 10-12 minutes, until pie filling is just set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Remove from oven and cool for 10-15 minutes before removing from muffin tin and topping with whipped cream. Garnish with some ground cinnamon, if desired, and enjoy.
