Mini Pecan Pies Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 cups pecan halves
• 1 cup white sugar
• 3 large eggs, beaten
• cup light corn syrup
• cup dark corn syrup
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• teaspoon salt
• 18 (3-inch) ready-to-bake pie shells

Directions:

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350F (175C).

Step 2: Place the pecans in a food processor and pulse until they are coarsely chopped.

Step 3: In a mixing bowl, combine the white sugar, eggs, light corn syrup, dark corn syrup, melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until well combined.

Step 4: Gently fold the chopped pecans into the mixture.

Step 5: Spoon approximately cup of the pecan mixture into each mini pie shell.

Step 6: Place the filled pie shells onto a baking sheet and transfer them to the preheated oven.

Step 7: Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the mini pies are slightly browned.

Step 8: Serve the pies warm, or allow them to cool. Once cooled, store them in an airtight for up to one week.

Cooks Note: For the best flavor, I recommend using butter and vanilla extract instead of margarine and vanilla flavoring.
