Description
Mini Pecan Pies are bite-sized versions of the classic dessert—gooey, rich, and full of buttery pecans nestled in flaky crusts. Perfect for holiday platters, potlucks, or gifting, they bring Southern charm and sweetness in every handheld treat.
Ingredients
1 (14 oz) package refrigerated pie crusts
1 cup chopped pecans
⅔ cup brown sugar
⅔ cup light corn syrup
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 24-cup mini muffin tin.
2. Roll out the pie crust and cut 3-inch circles. Press each into the muffin cups.
3. In a bowl, whisk brown sugar, corn syrup, eggs, melted butter, vanilla, and salt. Fold in chopped pecans.
4. Fill each crust with the pecan mixture, just below the rim.
5. Bake for 20–25 minutes, until golden and set.
6. Cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then transfer to a rack. Serve warm or room temp.
Notes
Chill the dough before pressing it into the muffin tin for a better shape.
Don’t overfill each cup—the filling bubbles up!
Let them cool fully if planning to package or gift them.
