Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 package pie crusts-already made, you just roll out and use
1 3 inch circle cutter, for cutting the pie crusts into smaller shapes
pie mixture
1/3 c dark karo syrup
1 egg
1/3 c sugar
2 tsp butter, melted
1/4 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/2 c finely ground pecans
1 24 count mini muffin tin, sprayed lightly with cooking spray

Steps:

  • 1. Prepare a lightly floured work surface and lightly dust one of the pie crusts after you roll it onto your surface, roll to make it slightly thinner. Cut 3 inch circles and fit each one into the cups of the mini muffin tin. The pie mixture will make about 36 mini tarts total. You won't use quite all of both crusts in the box.
  • 2. Beat the egg and sugar well. Add the karo and melted butter, beat well, mix in the vanilla, then fold in the ground nuts. Fill each little tart shell about 3/4 full. Bake in a 350 oven for about 18 minutes. The crust will be golden brown when done. Don't over bake or the pies will be tough.

Time 43m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 9

cooking spray
⅔ cup white sugar
¼ cup butter, melted
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
3 large eggs
1 cup light corn syrup (such as Karo®)
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup chopped pecans
1 (15 ounce) package pastry for a double-crust 9-inch pie, at room temperature

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray 12 mini muffin cups with cooking spray.
  • Mix white sugar, butter, and flour together in a large bowl until well combined. Add eggs, 1 at a time, and mix well after each addition. Whisk corn syrup and vanilla extract into sugar mixture; fold in pecans.
  • Roll pie crust pastry onto a floured work surface; cut into circles using end of a drinking glass or a biscuit cutter. This will make 11 crusts. Roll the scraps into a ball and roll back onto the floured surface; cut 1 more circle. Press each circle into the prepared muffin cups. Repeat with remaining pie crust pastry.
  • Spoon pecan mixture, about 2 tablespoons per pie, into pie crust pastry.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until set, about 18 minutes. Allow tarts to cool in muffin tins for 5 minutes before loosening edges from sides of tin; let rest 5 minutes more. Transfer tarts to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips:

  • Prepare your ingredients: Before you start baking, make sure you have all your ingredients measured and ready to go. This will help the baking process go smoothly and efficiently.
  • Use quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will have a big impact on the taste of your mini pecan pie tarts. Use fresh, high-quality ingredients whenever possible.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make it tough. Mix it just until it comes together.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough before baking will help it hold its shape and prevent it from spreading too much.
  • Bake the tarts until they are set: The tarts are done baking when the crust is golden brown and the filling is set. If you insert a toothpick into the center of a tart, it should come out clean.
  • Let the tarts cool before serving: Let the tarts cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. This will help them set and make them easier to handle.

Conclusion:

These mini pecan pie tarts are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion.
