Equipment

  • Muffin Pan
  • Large Mixing Bowl
  • pastry cutter or fork
  • Large bowl
  • butter knife

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 cup cold unsalted butter chopped into small pieces
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup dark corn syrup
  • 5 eggs
  • ⅔ cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups chopped pecans

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°. Spray a 12 count muffin tin with non stick cooking spray.
  • In a large bowl add the flour, butter and brown sugar.
  • Either using a pastry cutter, fork or your hands mash the butter with the flour and mix until fine crumbs form.
  • Take 1/4 cup of the crumbs and place it in each muffin cup.
  • Press down and flatten the crumbs in the muffin cups. Bake in the oven for 8 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and set aside. In a large bowl add the corn syrup, eggs, sugar and vanilla.
  • Stir until everything is completely combined.
  • Add in the pecans and stir once again.
  • Scoop and pour on top of the crusts until it reaches almost to the top of the muffin tin, leaving some room so it doesn’t spill over.
  • Reduce the temp to 275°. add the muffin tins back into the oven and cook for 30-35 minutes.
  • Once done let them cool for 20-30 minutes and then scrape the edges with a butter knife and carefully tip the muffin tin over to get them out. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days.
  • Keep the butter in the fridge until the last minute.
  • If for some reason you have more mixture of the crust and pie filling, make more!
  • Make sure to evenly flatten the crumbs into the muffin tin.
  • Keep in the fridge for storage but microwave them for 15 seconds before eating so it’s nice and warm!
