CREAM CHEESE PIE CRUST
A combination of butter and cream cheese produces a forgiving crust that's supple and a joy to roll out. The cream cheese gives the crust a lovely tang. And the simple fluted edge is a traditional finishing touch. Use this recipe as a crust for our Pecan Pie.

Steps:
- Combine water and vinegar in a small bowl. Combine flour and salt in another bowl. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut butter and cream cheese into flour mixture until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some larger pieces remaining.
- Add water mixture to dough in a slow, steady stream, stirring, until mixture just begins to hold together. (Alternatively, pulse ingredients in a food processor.) Turn out onto a piece of plastic wrap, and wrap. Press dough into a disk using a rolling pin. Refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour or overnight. (Dough can be frozen for up to 1 month; thaw before using.)
- Roll dough into a 12-inch round on a lightly floured surface. Fit dough into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim edge, leaving a 1-inch overhang. Turn overhang under so that edge is flush with rim. Flute edge. Freeze until firm, about 15 minutes.
- Make filling (see our Pecan Pie recipe).

PECAN TASSIES
Pecan tassies are bite-size pecan pies disguised as cookies. With a simple crust that's both tangy and rich, thanks to cream cheese and butter, and a not-too-sweet maple-infused pecan filling, they go down easy and by the handful.

Steps:
- Make the crust: Heat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, either by hand or with an electric mixer, beat together butter, cream cheese, sugar and salt until creamy. Beat in the flour just until combined and the dough begins to come together. Portion the dough into 24 1-inch balls (about a scant tablespoon each). Press each ball into a cup of a nonstick mini-muffin pan, spreading evenly over the bottom and 3/4 of the way up the sides, slightly higher if the cups are on the shallow side.
- Make the filling and bake: In a medium bowl, whisk together all of the filling ingredients. Add a heaping teaspoon of the filling to create a small mound in each cup, making sure to distribute the pecans evenly by stirring the filling every few scoops. Bake until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool for 10 minutes, then remove the tassies from the tin to cool completely.
