Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup pecan halves
  • 1 cup light corn syrup
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 package 1 lb refrigerated pie crusts (2 crusts)
  • Whipped cream optional, for serving

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the corn syrup, brown sugar, melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
  3. Roll out the pie crusts on a lightly floured surface. Use a round cookie cutter or a glass to cut out circles that are about 4 inches in diameter.
  4. Press each circle into the cups of a greased muffin tin, forming small crusts.
  5. Place a few pecan halves in the bottom of each crust.
  6. Pour the filling mixture over the pecans, filling each crust about 3/4 full.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.
  8. Allow the mini pies to cool in the muffin tin for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Serve warm or at room temperature, topped with whipped cream if desired.
