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.

Tips:

  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature before mixing. This will help it blend with the other ingredients smoothly.
  • If you don't have a cookie scoop, you can use two spoons to drop the batter into the mini muffin cups.
  • Don't overfill the mini muffin cups, or the cream cheese filling will spill over the sides when baking.
  • Bake the mini pecan pies just until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set. Overbaking will dry out the filling.
  • Let the mini pecan pies cool completely before serving. This will help the filling to set properly.

Conclusion:

These mini pecan pies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They're also a great way to use up leftover cream cheese. With their creamy filling and crunchy pecan topping, these mini pies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
