Equipment

  • 12-cup muffin pan
  • mixing bowl
  • cookie cutter or glass

Ingredients
  

  • 2 9-inch homemade pie crusts (or 1 store-bought 14 ounce refrigerated box)
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • cup light corn syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch salt
  • ½ cup finely chopped pecans

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Generously coat a standard size 12-cup muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Gently roll out the pie crusts. Cut circles with a cookie cutter or glass with a 3.5-inch diameter. (You should be able to get 6 circles from each crust if you cut close to the edges and close to one another.)
  • Carefully press the dough rounds into each muffin slot. (The dough should come up about halfway in each muffin well. Make certain there aren't any rips!)
  • In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, granulated sugar, melted butter, beaten egg, corn syrup, vanilla extract, a pinch of salt, and chopped pecans. Mix until thoroughly combined.
  • Fill each pie crust with 1 & ½ tablespoons of the filling (it won’t look like a lot, but the filling expands while baking.)
  • Bake for about 25 minutes (or when the center of pies start to solidify and are no longer jiggly.)
  • Cool completely in pan.
  • Gently run a dull knife around the outer crusts to loosen any parts that might be stuck, and using the same knife remove the pies from the pan.
  • Serve and enjoy!
