Categories     Dessert

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
1/3 cup light corn syrup
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 and 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
1 egg (lightly beaten)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup chopped pecans

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll the pie dough out into a 12-inch circle. Using a 3-inch cookie cutter (or glass), cut out 12 circles from the dough. Place each piece of dough in each muffin cavity of a 12-count muffin pan, making sure each piece comes up the sides just a little bit (you may need to stretch the dough just a bit). Transfer the muffin pan to the refrigerator while you making the filling.
  • In a mixing bowl, mix together the corn syrup, brown sugar, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract until fully combined; then mix in the chopped pecans. Remove the muffin pan from the refrigerator. Evenly distribute the filling (about 1 full tablespoon) between all 12 muffin cavities, making sure the pecan pie filling does not come up over the edges of the dough.
  • Bake at 350°F for about 25 minutes or until the filling is set. Remove from the oven and cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Carefully remove the mini pecan pies from the muffin pan and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

MINI SOUTHERN PECAN PIES

These tasty, pecan-filled mini pies are great for the holidays or an easy, elegant dessert anytime. The use of light corn syrup lets the pecan goodness shine through, rather than overwhelming with sugary sweetness. Be careful when eating these - if you get some of the filling on your face, your tongue may beat you to death trying to get to it! Try serving warm with vanilla ice cream. Serve warm or cool and place in airtight containers up to 1 week.

MINI PECAN-PUMPKIN PIES



Mini Pecan-Pumpkin Pies image

If you love all that is wonderful about the holidays, i.e. pecans, cookies and pumpkins, this is the dessert for you! I saw this recipe recently while watching the Food Network and absolutely had to try them. And I did, and they were delicious. Recipe courtesy of Sunny Anderson from an episode of "Cooking for Real". As Sunny noted on the show, be sure to keep all ingredients for the cookie crust (excluding the water!) in the freezer prior to dough assembly; this will ensure a light and delectable finish.

Tips:

- Use fresh pumpkin puree for the best flavor. Canned pumpkin puree can also be used, but it may not have as much flavor. - If you don't have a food processor, you can use a blender to make the pumpkin puree. Just be sure to blend it until it is very smooth. - If you don't have muffin tins, you can also bake the mini pies in a 9-inch pie plate. Just be sure to adjust the baking time accordingly. - To prevent the pies from sticking to the muffin tins, grease the tins with cooking spray or use paper liners. - Let the pies cool completely before serving. This will help them to set and hold their shape.

Conclusion:

These mini pecan pumpkin pies are the perfect fall dessert. They are easy to make and can be made ahead of time. They are also a great way to use up leftover pumpkin puree. So next time you are looking for a delicious and festive dessert, give these mini pecan pumpkin pies a try.
