Wonton Pecan Pie Bites Food

WONTON PIE BITES

Steps:

• 1. In a shallow dish, mix sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.
• 2. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and the water for the egg wash.
• 3. Place one wonton wrapper on a clean, dry surface. With a small pastry brush or a spoon, paint the edges of the wonton wrapper with the egg wash. Then spoon 1 teaspoon of the pie filling in the middle. Fold over to form a triangle and seal very well. Repeat for remaining. Make sure you have a good, tight seal, otherwise the filling will leak out and cause oil splatters.
• 4. Heat oil to 375 degrees.
• 5. Carefully slide in a few wontons into the oil with a long-handled spoon. (Use a screen to protect you from the oil.)
• 6. Fry for 1 minute on each side, until golden brown. Drain on rack.
• 7. While still warm, sprinkle won ton on both sides with sugar/cinnamon mixture or powdered sugar and place back on rack to cool. (It's fun to have some of each for variety.)
• 8. Transfer to a serving tray or to individual serving dishes.
• 9. These are great served warm but are also very good at room temperature.

• Shape mixture into twelve 2-inch tightly-packed balls. Refrigerate before serving.

PECAN PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Mix the white sugar, brown sugar, salt, corn syrup, butter, eggs, and vanilla together in a bowl. Pour the chopped pecans in the bottom of the unbaked pie shell.
• Pour the syrup mixture over the top. Bake the pie until it's no longer loose and jiggly, 1 hour 10 minutes, being careful not to burn pecans and crust. (Cover with foil for part of the baking time if it browns too quickly).
• Allow to cool for several hours or overnight. Serve in thin slivers with freshly whipped cream. Serve with a drizzle of cold Whiskey Maple Cream Sauce.
• Pour the whipping cream into a saucepan. Add the maple syrup and corn syrup and stir over moderate heat until thickened and reduced by about 1/3, approximately 15 minutes. Stir in the whiskey. Refrigerate mixture until it is cold and thick. Drizzle over warm pecan pie.

PECAN PIE BITES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly spray a mini muffin pan with cooking spray and set aside.
• In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons butter. Add the chopped pecans and toast for about 10 minutes until golden brown, stirring frequently.
• Meanwhile, make the crusts. In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the butter and brown sugar until creamy. Add the flour and salt and beat until well combined. Take a few tablespoons of dough and press into and up the sides of each mini muffin cup.
• To make the filling, in a large bowl, stir together the brown sugar, light corn syrup, melted butter, and vanilla. Stir in the toasted pecans until well coated. Spoon about a tablespoon of filling into each crust, filling it about 3/4 full. Try not to overfill the crusts, as the filling will bubble over when they are baking. Don't worry...you'll be adding more filling after they bake!
• Bake the bites for about 15 minutes or until the crusts just start to brown. Remove from the oven and let set for about 5 minutes before scooping another tablespoon of filling onto each bite. Let bites cool in pan completely before removing.
