Step-by-Step Instructions for Mini Pecan Pies
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 12-cup muffin tins with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine flour and brown sugar. Cut in the cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Press portions of the mixture firmly into the bottoms of each muffin cup and bake for 8-10 minutes until lightly golden.
  4. Whisk together eggs, corn syrup, granulated sugar, vanilla, and salt until smooth, then fold in chopped pecans.
  5. Pour the filling evenly into each pre-baked crust, filling just below the rim.
  6. Reduce the oven temperature to 275°F (135°C) and bake for an additional 30 minutes until filling is set.
  7. Let the mini pecan pies cool in the tins for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
