Categories     Dessert

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 pie crusts (from scratch or a pack of two)
⅔ cup (158 ml) Karo® Light OR Dark Corn Syrup
2 large eggs
⅔ cup (134g) granulated sugar
1 tablespoon (14g) melted butter
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup (120g) chopped pecans

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a mini muffin pans or cupcake tins with flour nonstick cooking spray or grease and flour them.
  • Working with one pie crust at a time, unroll each crust. Use a large round cookie cutter (about 2-inches diameter for mini pies and 3-inches for cupcake sized) to cut circles of pie dough, rerolling as needed.
  • Press each circle in the bottom of the prepared muffin pan.
  • Mix corn syrup, eggs, sugar, butter and vanilla using a spoon. Stir in pecans. Spoon a bit of filling into each pie crust. Be careful not to overfill them.
  • Baking time: Mini pies 20-25 minutes, Cupcake sized pies 25-30 minutes.
  • As soon as they come out of the oven, check to see if any filling spilled over to the pan. If so, use a knife to carefully scrape it away from the pan. The filling will harden as it cools making it hard to remove the pies from the pan. Cool completely before removing from the pan, use a butter knife to help loosen each pie.

MINI SOUTHERN PECAN PIES



Mini Southern Pecan Pies image

These tasty, pecan-filled mini pies are great for the holidays or an easy, elegant dessert anytime. The use of light corn syrup lets the pecan goodness shine through, rather than overwhelming with sugary sweetness. Be careful when eating these - if you get some of the filling on your face, your tongue may beat you to death trying to get to it! Try serving warm with vanilla ice cream. Serve warm or cool and place in airtight containers up to 1 week.
