Yield 24 tarts, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1/2 cup butter (softened)
3 ounces cream cheese (softened)
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons butter
3/4 cup brown sugar (packed)
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup pecan halves (finely chopped)

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350.
For shells, beat butter and cream cheese until well blended, add flour, mix until soft dough forms.
Using small scoop, shape dough into 1 inch balls, place into ungreased cups of mini muffin pan.
Dip mini tart shaper in flour, press into dough with even pressure until dough rises slightly above rim of pan (dip in flour and repeat for all remaining cups).
For filling, melt butter in microwave (about 30 seconds), stir in brown sugar, egg, and vanilla.
Finely chop pecans, add to mixture, mix well.
Using small scoop, fill each shell with a level scoop of filling (do not overfill).
Bake 20-25 minutes (until light golden brown), remove pan from oven, cool in pan for 3 minutes, transfer to cooling rack, cool completely.

Tips:

For a flaky crust, use a combination of all-purpose flour and butter. Be sure to keep the butter cold and work it into the flour quickly.
If you don't have a mini tart pan, you can use a regular muffin pan. Just fill each cup about 2/3 full.
You can use any type of fruit or vegetable filling you like. Some popular choices include apples, berries, peaches, and zucchini.
To make a savory tart, you can use a filling made with eggs, cheese, and vegetables.
Bake the tarts until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
