Instructions

2. Make the Crust:

   • In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, sugar, and cinnamon. Mix until well combined.

5. Bake:

   • Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the filling is set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes clean.

6. Cool and Decorate:

   • Allow the mini pies to cool completely in the muffin tin. Once cooled, carefully remove them.
   • Top with whipped cream and sprinkle with Halloween-themed decorations, edible glitter, or place chocolate spiders on top for a bewitching effect.

7. Serve:
