Ingredients

Units Scale

Pie Crust:

  • 1 package refrigerated pie crusts or homemade pie dough

Filling:

  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 1/2 cup light corn syrup
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven and prepare tin: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a mini muffin tin.
  2. Prepare crusts: Roll out the pie crust and cut out 3-inch circles using a round cutter. Press each circle into the wells of the muffin tin to create mini crusts.
  3. Mix filling: In a mixing bowl whisk together corn syrup, brown sugar, eggs, melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
  4. Add pecans and filling: Divide the chopped pecans evenly among the crusts, then pour the filling mixture over the nuts until each cup is about ¾ full.
  5. Bake: Bake for 20–25 minutes or until the filling is set and crusts are golden brown.
  6. Cool and serve: Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, toast the pecans lightly before adding to the pies.
  • These freeze well for up to 2 months and can be thawed at room temperature.
  • Drizzle with melted chocolate for a festive touch.
