PECAN PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease your mini muffin tin. Roll out the pie crusts and cut with a circle cookie cutter, or I used a child's cup (from Ikea) about 3 inches in diameter. Press the pie crust into each cup in the muffin tin.
• Sprinkle a small amount of chopped pecans into each pie crust.
• In a medium size bowl combine the sugar, brown sugar, corn syrup, vanilla, butter, and eggs. Stir to combine.
• Carefully pour about 2 tablespoons of the syrup into each pie crust, be careful not to get the syrup along the edges of the pie crust, this will make them stick when you go to take them out.
• Bake for about 22-25 minutes. Mine baked perfect at 23 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and allow to cool. Carefully remove from the muffin tin, if you need use a butter knife to slide along the side of the pies to loosen. Give a little twist and pull them out.

Steps:

• In another bowl, mix the eggs, brown sugar, butter, vanilla, and salt. Stir in the pecans.
• Roll into small balls, and press slightly into the bottoms and sides of greased tart pans or mini muffin pans making sure to put some of the dough over the lip of the cup. Use a spoon to fill each of the crusts 2/3 full with the filling. It will overflow if you fill too full.
• Bake for 15-18 minutes in oven, until shell is lightly browned, and filling has puffed up. Cool, and carefully remove from pan.
