Ingredients
1 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
1 large egg, beaten
2 9” homemade pie crusts (or 1 store-bought 14 oz. refrigerated box)
2 tbsp granulated sugar
1/3 c. light corn syrup
1/4 c. brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 c. chopped pecans

How to make Mini Pecan Pies
Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 350 degrees F. Using nonstick cooking spray, generously grease a standard-size 12-cup muffin pan.
Step 2: After gently rolling out the pie crusts, cut circles using a glass or cookie cutter with a 3.5-inch diameter. If you cut close to the edges and one another, you should be able to make 6 circles from each crust.
Step 3: Into each muffin slot, carefully press the dough rounds.
Step 4: Place the brown sugar, granulated sugar, melted butter, beaten egg, corn syrup, vanilla extract, a pinch of salt, and chopped pecans in a medium mixing bowl. Mix well until completely blended.
Step 5: With 1 1/2 tbsp of the filling, fill each pie crust.
Step 6: Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 25 minutes or until the center begins to solidify.
Step 7: Remove from the oven when done and cool the pies completely in the pan.
Step 8: Once the pies are cooled, gently run a dull knife around the outer crust. This will loosen the parts that might be stuck. Then, take the pies out of the pan using the same knife.
Step 9: Serve the Mini Pecan Pies. Enjoy!
