Instructions
- Prepare puff pastry: Thaw the puff pastry according to package directions. Lightly flour a clean surface. Gently unfold the puff pastry sheet and lightly roll it out to slightly enlarge it (about 12x12 inches).
- Cut out shapes: Using a round cookie cutter (about 2 ½ inches in diameter) or a glass, cut out circles from the puff pastry. You can also use other shapes if desired.
- Prepare muffin tin: Lightly grease a mini muffin tin.
- Shape pastry cups: Gently press each circle of puff pastry into a muffin cup, forming a small cup.
- Make filling: In a medium bowl, combine the corn syrup, granulated sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt. Whisk until well blended. Stir in the pecan pieces.
- Fill pastry cups: Spoon about 1-2 tablespoons of the pecan pie filling into each pastry cup.
- Egg wash: Lightly brush the edges of the puff pastry with the beaten egg. This helps them to brown nicely.
- Bake: Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and the filling is set.
- Cool: Let the pecan pie bites cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Puff Pastry: Make sure the puff pastry is thawed but still cold when you work with it. Don't overwork the dough, as this can prevent it from puffing up properly.
- Pecans: You can use pecan halves or pieces for the filling. Chopped pecans will distribute more evenly in the small cups. Toasting the pecans before adding them to the filling enhances their flavor.
- Muffin Tin: A mini muffin tin is ideal for making these bite-sized treats.
- Baking Time: Baking times may vary slightly depending on your oven. Keep an eye on the pecan pie bites and remove them when the puff pastry is golden brown and the filling is set.
