Ingredients
2 sheets Pie Crust
1.5 cups Pecans, chopped finely
1 cup Brown Sugar
4 tablespoons Butter, melted
2 large Eggs, beaten
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
1/4 teaspoon Fine Sea Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Roll out the pie dough on a lightly floured surface to an even thickness.
Cut the dough into 3-inch circles using a biscuit cutter or a clean glass.
Press each dough circle into a greased mini-muffin tin, ensuring it reaches the bottom and sides evenly.
Combine the melted butter, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla, and salt in a large mixing bowl.
Whisk the mixture until the sugar dissolves and the texture appears smooth.
Fold in the chopped pecans carefully to ensure they are coated evenly in the liquid mixture.
Spoon one tablespoon of the pecan filling into each prepared crust cavity.
Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 25 minutes until the crust is golden and the filling is set.
Notes
Ensure the muffin tin is well-greased to prevent sticking. Use store-bought pie crust for added convenience, or make your own from scratch. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days.
