Can I freeze mini pecan pies?
Absolutely. Let them cool completely, wrap tightly, and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw at room temp or warm in a low oven.
Do I have to use corn syrup?
Nope. Maple syrup or golden syrup works well and adds extra depth.
How do I prevent the filling from bubbling over?
Don’t overfill. Stick to about 2/3 full in each crust.
Can I make this with store-bought crust?
Yes, and it works beautifully. Just roll it out and cut your circles.
Can I use silicone or non-stick mini muffin pans?
Yes, just make sure to grease them well or use a non-stick spray to help with release.
Conclusion
Mini pecan pies are bite-sized bliss. All the flavor and nostalgia of a full pie, but in a form that fits in your fingers and doesn’t require a fork. They’re rich, buttery, and downright addictive. Make them once, and they’ll become a staple at every holiday and family get-together.
