PECAN PIE TARTLETS
You can make this with homemade pie crust dough or the refrigerated kind, whichever works best for you today. The little phyllo (fillo) cups also work. These photos were taken using phyllo dough but they were a lot of work & didn't turn out as well. I had to brush the pastry rounds with melted butter to keep them from drying out...

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray the inside of the mini muffin tins lightly with cooking spray.
- 2. Melt the butter in a microwave safe batter bowl. Add the brown sugar, vanilla, salt, and egg. Stir together well.
- 3. Stir in the pecan pieces, saving the pecan halves for later.
- 4. If using phyllo shells, just fill them about 3/4 full and top with a pecan half. You should have enough filling for 24 tartlets. Jump down to Direction #6.
- 5. If using phyllo sheets or pie crust dough, roll out on a lightly floured surface with a floured rolling pin until you have about a 12" square, or enough to cut out 12 2 1/2-3" circles from each sheet, totalling 24 with both sheets.
- 6. Cut out the circles using a biscuit cutter (or a drinking glass, as I did), dipped in flour so it won't stick to the dough.
- 7. Place each dough circle over a mini-muffin tin opening and press down in the center gently. Distribute the pecan filling evenly into the 24 dough cups. Top each with a pecan half.
- 8. Bake at 350 degrees F. for 15-20 minutes, checking early and often to avoid overbaking. Tartlets are done when you carefully move one from its muffin cup and the bottom is lightly browned.
- 9. Remove tartlets from muffin pans to cooling racks to cool. Store in an airtight container.

[email protected]I'm not a big fan of pecans, so I substituted walnuts in this recipe. They turned out great! The walnuts added a nice crunchy texture to the tartlets.

[email protected]These tartlets are a great way to use up leftover pie filling. I made a batch of pecan pie filling last week, and I used the leftovers to make these tartlets. They were delicious!

[email protected]I've tried this recipe a few times now, and I've had mixed results. Sometimes the tartlets come out perfect, and sometimes they're a bit dry. I think it might depend on the quality of the pecans.
