Mini Pecan Pies
Makes 12-18
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
INGREDIENTS
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup pecans (chopped)
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup dark brown sugar (packed)
- 1/4 cup butter (melted/cooled/unsalted)
- 1/2 tbsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 homemade 9in. pie dough (link below)
- all purpose flour (as needed to roll dough)
DIRECTIONS
1.) Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
2.) Using a rolling pin, roll the dough out 1/4 inch thick.
Sprinkle flour under the dough as needed to keep it from sticking.
3.) Take a 3 inch round cutter and cut out as many round disk that will fit. Set them aside.
Press the remaining dough back together, and roll it out again 1/4 inch thick, then cut out the rest of the 12.
4.) Gently press the round disks of dough into the 12 tins, and up along the sides. It should fully cover the inside of the tins, then place the pan into the freezer to keep them cold.
5.) To a large bowl, add in the eggs and sugars. Whisk together for 1 minute, then add in the salt, corn syrup and vanilla. Whisk together for another minute until everything’s combined.
Lastly, whisk in the butter until combined.
6.) Take the muffin tin out of the freezer, and add 1 tbsp of the chopped pecans to each.
Evenly distribute the remaining nuts in the tins.
7.) Take 1/4 cup of the filling and add it to each tin. Do not fill to the top. Leave a 1/8 inch space at the top of each, because the filling will rise while baking.
8.) Place them into the oven to bake for 25-30 minutes. See notes at the bottom.
9.) Allow them to cool before removing them from the pan. Store in the refrigerator once cooled.
9 INCH ROUND PECAN PIE DIRECTIONS
1.) Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
2.) Roll the dough about a half an inch larger than the diameter of your pan (about 1/8in. thick).
Use flour, if needed, to help keep the dough from sticking to the counter as you roll it out.
3.) Place the dough into the pie pan and crease the edges to your liking. Place it into the freezer.
4.) Follow step 5 from above for the filling.
5.) Take the pie pan out of the freezer, and add in the chopped pecans.
6.) Pour the filling over the pecans.
7.) Cover the pie loosely with foil and bake it for 30 minutes. Take the foil off and bake for another 20-25 minutes, or until the center is not too jiggly.
8.) Allow the pie to cool before serving. Store in the fridge.
NOTES:
- You can substitute the homemade pie dough for a store bought one, but you may need more than one 9in round dough.
- The mini pies should not be too jiggly in the center when done. If they are, allow them to cook for another 5-10 minutes, depending on the shape/thickness of your muffin tins.
- There will be filling left over with the mini pies - enough to make 16-18 total.
- Freezer Instructions: After the pies come to room temp, place them on a sheet pan and put them into the freezer. Once frozen, place them into an airtight container and store in the freezer for up to a month.
- Optional: Cover the edges of the 9in. pecan pie with foil before baking to keep it from browning too fast.

Could this pie crust also be used for mini apple pies? The 4th is coming up and I want to bake these, plus apple pies.

[@tyhyassweetaroma8618]

Yes… use this dough for any of your sweet and savory dishes. I love to use it for homemade pot pies too😊

@@tyhyassweetaroma8618 thank you so much!

[@lisascott6481]

Since it 2 days before Thanksgiving can I just put them in the fridge? And how long to let them cook?

[@tyhyassweetaroma8618]

Yes… they will be fine in the fridge👍🏽 And depending on how deep or wide your muffin tin is, they can take about 25-30 minutes to set. Allow them to cool completely before removing and placing them in the fridge. They can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days in an airtight container.

[@lisascott6481]

@@tyhyassweetaroma8618 thank you for responding, I’m making mine right now for Thanksgiving. And Happy Thanksgiving ❤️
