Mini Pecan Pies
Description
Mini Pecan Pies combine toasted chopped pecans with a sweet filling of brown sugar, dark corn syrup, egg, melted butter or oil, vanilla extract, and salt. This sticky, nutty mixture is portioned into miniature phyllo dough shells and baked at 350°F until the filling sets and the shells become lightly crisp. The phyllo provides a delicate and flaky crust that complements the dense, chewy filling.
The tarts deliver a contrast in textures, with the slightly crunchy pecans embedded in a syrupy custard within the fragile shell. Their small size makes them convenient for serving at gatherings or as a snack, offering a traditional pecan pie flavor without the need to cut from a larger pie.
According to the notes, these tarts keep well stored for several days and freeze for up to a few months, allowing for easy make-ahead preparation and flexibility in serving.
