I have been craving pecan pie for a while now. I decided to make some mini pies.
I still haven't perfected pie crust, actually I haven't even tried yet. Too busy or too lazy. But this is my favorite pie crust that I always use when I need pie crust. The box has 2 crusts.
I was able to make 4 doz little dough balls, about an inch in diameter
I found this recipe on Allrecipes.com, i only used the filling recipe since I already had pre-made crust.I doubled this recipe:
- 1 egg
- 3/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2/3 cup chopped pecans
25 minutes at 325 degrees in the oven, and they popped right out of the pan. AND so delicious!!I have to get my sugar fix from things other than chocolate, because for some strange reason now that I am pregnant, I don't crave for chocolate anymore...sad, I know. It's ok, and I'll still eat it, but before pregnancy, I had to fight myself to not eat it with every meal and snack.

These are so cute!!
i love these! I love the idea of making the min pie crusts from a big store brought one! These kinds of shortcuts are the best :)
Hmm...I have a ready-made pie crust sitting in the fridge and I didn't know what to do with it. I think I'll try this recipe out! Thanks!
When I was finally able to eat these were so yummy. tasted just like the big pecan pie. And having the minis didn't make me feel guilty as if I ate a whole pie! hahah.
These were so good............ Thank you for making them and for sending me home with some. I ate them ALL.......
