Ingredients
- 1 cup light brown sugar packed
- ⅔ cup light corn syrup
- ⅓ cup butter unsalted
- 1 ½ cups pecans chopped
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 boxes pie crust refrigerated
- 1 egg divided, large
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, over medium heat, combine brown sugar, corn syrup, and butter. Stir continuously until butter melts and mixture begins to boil. Boil until bubbly for about 2 full minutes. Remove from heat.
- Stir in chopped pecans, vanilla extract, and kosher salt. Set aside to cool while preparing the pie crust.
- Either making a homemade pie crust or using refrigerated dough, unroll crust and use a 4-inch circle cutter to create hand pies. Re-roll scraps of pie crust to get approximately 24 circles.
- In 2 small bowls, separate one egg...with the whites going into one bowl and the yolk in the other bowl. Whisk each one separately. Set aside.
- Using a 1 Tablespoon scoop, spoon warm pecan pie filling onto each pie crust circle. Use a pastry brush, and brush the edges of the pie crust with the egg WHITES.
- Fold each pie crust in half and pinch edges. Use a fork to poke the top of each hand pie.
- Brush the tops of each hand pie with egg YOLK. Place each hand pie on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet.
- In a preheated 425 degree F oven, bake hand pies for about 15 minutes, until lightly browned.
- Remove and cool on a wire rack. Drizzle with caramel and chocolate if desired.
Notes
- You'll need enough pie crust for 4 single crust pies. This equates to two boxes of refrigerated pie crust. Or try using our homemade pie crust.
- Our homemade chocolate syrup is perfect for drizzling on top.
