Description:

It's almost October, and with the changing season comes cravings for everything pumpkin flavoured. These are good for potlucks, and are usually more popular than another type of tart that I make, a personal favourite, which I'll post later.

You could probably put the filling in pie shells and get full sized pumpkin pies, but for some reason, I always go for tarts. A little less awkward to pick up in a line at a potluck.

To be honest, I just used pre-made tart shells from the frozen section of my local grocery. My family is traditionally phobic of making pie crust, as it can be notoriously tricky. One day, I'll figure it out and post it here under its own entry.
