Ingredients
Pastry:
- 1 14.1 ounce package refrigerated pie crusts (or homemade pie crust)
Filling:
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup ½ stick unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ cups pecan halves or pieces
Instructions
- Prepare pie crust: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Unroll the pie crusts on a lightly floured surface. You may need to gently roll them out slightly to make sure you have enough to cut out the circles.
- Cut out circles: Using a round cookie cutter (about 2 ½ inches in diameter) or a glass, cut out circles from the pie crusts.
- Prepare muffin tin: Lightly grease a mini muffin tin.
- Shape pastry cups: Gently press each circle of pie crust 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.
- Bake: Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust 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
- Variations:
- Pie Crust: You can use store-bought refrigerated pie crusts or make your own from scratch.
- Pecans: You can use pecan halves or pieces for the filling.
- Muffin Tin: A mini muffin tin is essential for making pecan pie bites.
- Baking Time: Baking times may vary slightly depending on your oven. Keep an eye on the pecan pie bites and remove them when the crust is golden brown and the filling is set.
- Chocolate Pecan Pie Bites: Add chocolate chips to the pecan pie filling.
- Bourbon Pecan Pie Bites: Add bourbon to the pecan pie filling for a boozy twist.
- Maple Pecan Pie Bites: Use maple syrup instead of corn syrup in the filling.
