MINI SOUTHERN PECAN PIES

These tasty, pecan-filled mini pies are great for the holidays or an easy, elegant dessert anytime. The use of light corn syrup lets the pecan goodness shine through, rather than overwhelming with sugary sweetness. Be careful when eating these - if you get some of the filling on your face, your tongue may beat you to death trying to get to it! Try serving warm with vanilla ice cream. Serve warm or cool and place in airtight containers up to 1 week.

2 large eggs

  • Press each circle in the bottom of the prepared muffin pan.
  • Mix corn syrup, eggs, sugar, butter and vanilla using a spoon. Stir in pecans. Spoon a bit of filling into each pie crust. Be careful not to overfill them.
  • Baking time: Mini pies 20-25 minutes, Cupcake sized pies 25-30 minutes.
  • As soon as they come out of the oven, check to see if any filling spilled over to the pan. If so, use a knife to carefully scrape it away from the pan. The filling will harden as it cools making it hard to remove the pies from the pan. Cool completely before removing from the pan, use a butter knife to help loosen each pie.

MINI PECAN PIES



Mini Pecan Pies image

It's hard to resist pecan pie, especially when it comes in a cute little package!These Mini Pecan Pies are simple to whip up and look great on a big serving platter or cake stand. Made with frozen tart shells and a sweet, nutty filling that comes together in a single bowl, they make a fantastic addition to a dessert table or holiday buffet. The gooey pecan filling is flavored with vanilla extract, but for something a little different, you could also add a half teaspoon of fresh orange zest for a bright fresh note that pairs well with the brown sugar, or a half teaspoon of ground cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice for a warm, fragrant hint of spice. For the most flavor, toast the pecans in a single layer in a shallow pan or baking sheet before adding them to the filling. Best of all, these mini pies can be made in advance. Bake the pies as directed, let them cool to room temperature, then store them in an airtight container for up to three days. If you are transporting Mini Pecan Pies to a party or potluck, place a layer of paper towels in the bottom of the storage container so they don't slide around.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your pie. Choose pecans that are plump and fresh, and make sure your butter, sugar, and flour are all fresh as well.
  • Don't overwork the dough. Overworking the dough will make it tough. Mix it just until it comes together, then stop.
  • Chill the dough before baking. This will help to prevent the dough from shrinking and becoming too hard.
  • Bake the pie at a high temperature for the first 15 minutes. This will help to set the crust and prevent it from becoming soggy.
  • Reduce the oven temperature after 15 minutes. This will help to prevent the pie from overcooking.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will allow the filling to set and the flavors to meld together.

Conclusion:

Mimi's pecan pie is a classic Southern dessert that is loved by people all over the world. With its buttery crust, sweet and gooey filling, and crunchy pecans, it's the perfect pie for any occasion.
