Ingredients

  • 9-inch refrigerated rolled pie crusts)

    (homemade or store-bought

    2
  • brown sugar
    ¼ c
  • granulated sugar
    2 tbsp
  • unsalted butter

    melted

    1 tbsp
  • egg

    beaten

    1 large
  • light corn syrup
    ⅓ c
  • vanilla extract
    1 tsp
  • salt
  • finely chopped pecans
    ½ c

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Generously coat a standard size 12-cup muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray.

  2. 2

    Gently roll out the pie crusts. Cut circles with a cookie cutter or glass with a 3.5-inch diameter. (You should be able to get 6 circles from each crust if you cut close to the edges and close to one another.)

  3. 3

    Carefully press the dough rounds into each muffin slot. (The dough should come up about halfway in each muffin well. Make certain there aren't any rips!)

  4. 4

    In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, granulated sugar, melted butter, egg, corn syrup, vanilla extract, a pinch of salt, and chopped pecans. Mix until thoroughly combined.

  5. 5

    Fill each pie crust with 1 & 1/2 tablespoons of the filling (it won’t look like a lot, but the filling expands while baking.)

  6. 6

    Bake for about 25 minutes (or when the center of pies start to solidify and are no longer jiggly.)

  7. 7

    Cool completely in pan.

  8. 8

    Gently run a dull knife around the outer crusts to loosen any parts that might be stuck, and using the same knife remove the pies from the pan.

  9. 9

    Serve and enjoy!

About this Recipe

These Mini Pecan Pies capture all the beloved flavors of a classic pecan pie, but in a delightful individual serving size perfect for any gathering. Imagine skipping the slicing and serving—just grab and enjoy!

What makes these so special is their convenient, bite-sized form, making them incredibly easy for holiday entertaining. You get the rich, sweet, and nutty experience of traditional pecan pie without the fuss of cutting a large dessert, offering effortless elegance and portion control.

Prepare for a harmonious blend of textures and tastes: a tender, flaky crust cradling a luscious, sweet, and gooey filling, generously studded with finely chopped pecans. Each mini pie delivers that signature comforting, caramel-like sweetness balanced by the earthy crunch of pecans, creating a truly satisfying dessert.

Despite their impressive look, these individual treats are designed to be super easy, ensuring a delightful experience for both the baker and the enjoyer. The straightforward approach allows you to focus on the joy of creating and sharing a beloved holiday staple.

While this recipe excels in its traditional presentation, you have flexibility with the crust—use store-bought refrigerated rolled pie crusts for ultimate convenience or your favorite homemade recipe if you prefer. For the pecans, you can adjust the fineness of the chop to your liking, from a finer texture that blends seamlessly into the filling to a slightly coarser chop for more pronounced pecan pieces.

These charming Mini Pecan Pies are an ideal dessert for holiday entertaining, potlucks, or any occasion where you want to offer a sweet, individual treat. They're wonderful served on their own, perhaps with a dusting of powdered sugar.
