Pie Filling
- Add all ingredients except for the pecans into a medium size mixing bowl and stir until combined.
- Add about a teaspoon of chopped pecans to each pie circle. Pour pie filling on top of pecans into each pie, but don’t fill all the way – the filling expands! The pecans will float to the top.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes - cooking time can vary based on your oven.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the tin for a few minutes, then pop out onto a wire cooling rack.
- Devour.

Notes
- You can buy already crushed pecans, or buy them whole and chop them yourself.
- Substitutions/Additions
- Use almond extract if you prefer, in place of the vanilla extract.
- What to do with leftovers
- Store in a covered container at room temperature for about 5 days.
