Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 15 pieces Mini phyllo pastry shells
- 15 pieces Pecan halves
- 0.5 cups Finely chopped pecans
- 0.25 cups Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Arrange the mini phyllo pastry shells on the prepared baking sheet.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the chopped pecans, brown sugar, maple syrup, melted butter, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Mix well to form a sticky filling mixture.
Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the pecan filling into each pastry shell, filling it nearly to the top.
Place a single pecan half on top of the pecan mixture in each shell for garnish and extra crunch.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes, or until the filling is set and the shells are golden brown.
Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the pecan pie bites cool completely before serving. The filling will firm up as they cool.
Serve at room temperature and enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
