Step-by-Step Instructions for Mini Pecan Pies
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare two 12-cup muffin tins with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. Combine all-purpose flour and brown sugar in a medium bowl. Cut in cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Press the mixture into the bottom and sides of each muffin cup, about 1/4 inch thick. Bake for 8-10 minutes until golden brown.
  4. Whisk together the large eggs, dark corn syrup, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and frothy.
  5. Fold in the chopped pecans into the egg mixture.
  6. Reduce oven temperature to 275°F (135°C). Spoon the pecan filling into each crust, filling just below the rim.
  7. Bake for an additional 30 minutes until the filling is set and jiggles slightly in the center.
  8. Allow the mini pecan pies to cool in the tins for about 10 minutes, then remove and cool completely before serving.
