Mini Pecan Pies

JACKPOT!  Finally!  I have had SO many pinterest fails lately.  Its been ridiculous.  I keep thinking I need to make a list of all the terrible one's!  Maybe soon I will.  I was excited to try this one, and so glad I did because it turned out amazing.  Easy ingredients, easy to make, and delicious to eat!  YAY!


Ingredients:
1 Frozen pie crust, thawed out
1/2 Cup powdered sugar
1/4 Cup butter
1/4 Cup light corn syrup
1/2 Chopped pecans

Directions:
*Flour your counter well so the dough doesn't stick.


*Roll out the pie crust a bit to thin it out.  (Flour the top a bit so the rolling pin doesn't stick).


*Take a small, round cookie cutter or glass to cut out small round pieces of the dough.  I had a small glass I used, but a small 2 inch cookie cutter would be perfect.  Even a 1.5 inch.



*Spray down your mini muffin tin (yes, those super small one's that has 24 or so muffin spots in it) with baking spray.


*Place each of the little pie crusts into a muffin tin spot.  Gently press it down into place.


*Place the tin into a pre-heated oven to 350*F.  Bake for 8-10 minutes.


*While the dough is baking, make the filling.

*Put the powdered sugar, butter, and corn syrup into a very small pan.


*Cook on medium until it boils.

*Add the chopped pecans and mix well.



*Pour the pecan mixture into the pastry cups that are still in the muffin tray.

*Bake for an additional 5-8 minutes in the oven (still at 350*F).

*Remove and let cool before removing from the pan. (I ate them before I could take a picture, oops!)
