Step-by-Step Instructions for Mini Pecan Pies
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly spray two 12-cup muffin tins with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine all-purpose flour and brown sugar. Cut in cold butter until resembling coarse crumbs.
  3. Press the mixture into the bottom and sides of each muffin cup. Bake for 8-10 minutes until lightly golden.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, corn syrup, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
  5. Gently stir in the chopped pecans until evenly distributed.
  6. Pour the pecan filling into each pre-baked crust, filling about three-quarters full.
  7. Reduce the oven temperature to 275°F (135°C) and bake the mini pecan pies for an additional 30 minutes.
  8. Let the mini pecan pies cool in the muffin tins for 15 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
