- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a muffin tin or mini pie pan.
- In a bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and unsweetened applesauce. Mix until a soft dough forms. If it’s too dry, add a teaspoon of water at a time until smooth and pliable.
- Roll the dough out on a floured surface to about ¼-inch thickness. Cut into circles slightly larger than the muffin tin openings.
- Press the dough circles into the muffin cups to form little pie crusts. Prick the bottoms lightly with a fork.
2️⃣ Bake the Crusts
- Bake the crusts for 10–12 minutes, or until lightly golden and firm. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
3️⃣ Make the Pumpkin Filling
- In a small bowl, combine the gelatin packet with ¼ cup warm water. Stir until dissolved completely.
- In another bowl, mix the pumpkin puree with the dissolved gelatin until smooth and well combined.
- Spoon the pumpkin mixture into the cooled crusts, filling each mini pie to the top.
4️⃣ Chill & Serve
- Place the filled pies in the refrigerator for about 1 hour, or until the pumpkin filling is firm and set.
- Remove from the muffin tin and store in the fridge until ready to serve.
- Serve chilled as a special holiday treat for your pup — they’ll love the texture and taste!
