/

Ingredients 

  • ▢2 9-inch refrigerated rolled pie crusts, (homemade or store-bought)

  • ▢1/4 cup brown sugar

  • ▢2 tablespoons granulated sugar

  • ▢1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted

  • ▢1 large egg, beaten

  • ▢1/3 cup light corn syrup

  • ▢1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • ▢pinch of salt

  • ▢1/2 cup finely chopped pecans

Instructions 

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

  • Gently roll out the pie crusts. Cut circles with a cookie cutter or glass with a 3.5-inch diameter.

  • Carefully press the dough rounds into each muffin slot.

  • 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.

  • 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.)

  • Bake for about 25 minutes

  • Cool completely in pan.

  • 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.

  • Serve and enjoy!
