Microwave Mug Pecan Pie Recipe
Description
The Microwave Mug Pecan Pie Recipe simplifies traditional pecan pie by preparing a batter of melted butter, brown sugar, maple syrup, vanilla, salt, egg, and toasted chopped pecans. This is poured over crushed cookie crumbs that act as the pie crust inside a microwave-safe mug.
The mug is microwaved in short intervals to thicken the filling until it resembles a jelly-like consistency, which firms up further upon cooling. The dessert can be served immediately with whipped cream or chilled for up to 24 hours.
This recipe makes enough filling for two pies and can be prepared ahead of time. The cooking duration varies based on microwave wattage and mug size, so monitoring is important to achieve a set filling without overcooking.
