Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 package Prepared pie crust
- 1 cup Chopped pecans
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 0.5 cup Light corn syrup
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 2 Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Roll out the prepared pie crust on a lightly floured surface and cut it into 24 small circles, approximately 3 inches in diameter. Use a cookie cutter or a small glass as a guide.
Press each circle of pie crust into the cups of a mini muffin tin, ensuring they form small shells to hold the filling.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, corn syrup, melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and well combined.
Scatter a small amount of the chopped pecans into the bottom of each pie shell.
Carefully spoon the filling mixture over the pecans, filling each pie shell about three-quarters full. Be careful not to overfill, as the filling will expand slightly during baking.
Top each mini pie with a few additional chopped pecans for decoration.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is set and the edges of the crust are golden brown.
Allow the tiny pecan pies to cool in the muffin tin for 10-15 minutes before gently removing them. Serve warm or at room temperature.
