Mini Pecan Pies
These mini pecan pies have all the rich, buttery flavor of a classic pecan pie baked into individual muffin-tin portions. With just one premade pie crust and a simple filling that comes together in one bowl, they are ready in about 30 minutes and perfect for Thanksgiving or holiday entertaining.
Ingredients
- 1 Pie crust premade
- ½ cup corn syrup
- 2 tbs[ butter unsalted + melted
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 egg
- 1 cup pecans chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray a standard muffin tin with non-stick spray.
- Unroll the pie crust and use a 4-inch round cookie cutter to cut as many rounds as possible, rerolling as needed. Press each round into a muffin tin cavity.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together corn syrup, melted butter, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla until combined.
- Add chopped pecans and stir until evenly incorporated.
- Pour filling into the prepared pie crusts, dividing evenly.
- Bake for about 25 minutes until edges are browned and centers are set.
- Cool completely before removing from the tin.
Notes
**Storage**
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Serve cold or at room temperature. Freeze for up to 1 month — thaw overnight in the fridge. **Recipe Tips**
* Grease the muffin tin well even if non-stick — pecan filling is sticky.
* Chop pecans into medium pieces for better texture.
* Make a day ahead — filling sets better and flavor deepens overnight.
* Run a knife around each pie before lifting to protect the crust.
