Maple Pecan Butter Tarts
Description
Maple Pecan Butter Tarts feature a filling crafted from melted unsalted butter, maple syrup, brown sugar, and beaten eggs, giving them a chewy and sweet consistency once baked. The addition of pecan halves adds a nutty crunch that balances the richness of the filling. The tart shells hold the filling neatly, crisping to a golden brown in the oven at 350°F.
This recipe organizes the preparation simply by mixing the filling ingredients before filling the tart shells about three-quarters full to allow for bubbling without overflow. Baking for 20 to 25 minutes yields set edges and a soft, sticky center. Cooling on a baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack helps the tarts set properly.
Ingredients
- 24 tart shells (store bought, raw)
- ⅓ cup butter melted, unsalted
- 5 tbps maple syrup
- 1 ½ cups brown sugar
- 2 egg beaten
- 1 cup pecan halves (cut in half)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- In a medium sized bowl mix together the melted butter, maple syrup, brown sugar, beaten eggs until evenly combined. Stir in the pecans until evenly combined.
- Arrange the tart shells on a baking sheet and fill with the filling (approximately ¾ of the way full).
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the pastry edges are a golden brown. Remove from oven. Keep the tarts on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to set before transferring to a wire cooling rack.
- Cool completely before serving. Enjoy!
