Pecan Tarts Variations

• You can use dark brown sugar for a more significant hint of molasses with each bite or light brown sugar for less molasses and more sweetness.

Mini Pecan Pie Notes

• The easiest way to prepare these mini pies is to use a mini cupcake pan. You can get the perfect shape and ensure all your little pies are the same size when you use the cupcake pan.
• Make sure your pie crust is bigger than the muffin pan. If not, your filling will take up too much space and begin overflowing, which can lead to a big mess for you to deal with in the kitchen.
• If you want to make these in advance, you can store them for up to five days in an airtight container OR put them in the freezer and keep them fresh for up to three months.

FAQs for the Pecan Pie Minis

Do I use glazed pecans or traditional pecans?

You can use traditional pecans because you’ll add corn syrup and sugar to them, giving them a sweeter taste. If you use glazed pecans, everything might be a bit too sweet for you.

Can I use a different brand of pie crust?

Definitely, if you don’t want to use the Pillsbury brand, feel free to use a generic or any other brand you can find. You can also make homemade pie crust if you’d like to do so.

What should I serve with the Mini Pecan Pies?

Serve your pies with a bit of whipped cream on top and a side of two scoops of vanilla ice cream. The crunchy texture and sweet taste pair perfectly with the cold frozen treat.
