0 servings
What you need
oz cream cheese
cup unsalted butter
tsp kosher salt
cup dark brown sugar
tsp vanilla extract
cup pecan halves
Instructions
0 Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a mini muffin pan with nonstick baking spray, and set aside. 1 Cream together the softened butter and cream cheese with a hand mixer in a large bowl. 8 Slowly add in the flour and salt, mixing until incorporated, then set aside. 2 Crack the eggs into another large bowl. Scoop in the dark brown sugar. Whisk those two ingredients together until combined. 9 Pour in the melted butter and vanilla. Stir to combine. 3 Finally, measure the pecans into the wet ingredient mixture. Gently fold them in using a plastic spatula. Set aside until ready for use. 4 Next, form the crusts. Scoop 1-tablespoon of dough and roll it into a ball in your palm. Press into the mini muffin tin with the back of a spoon or your thumb. Create a space for the filling to be poured into. (The dough is sticky, so oil your hands or tools.) 6 When all the dough is pressed into the muffin tin, scoop one tablespoon of the filling into each cup. Clean up the edges because it will caramelize on the muffin tin. 7 Bake for 20 minutes or until tops have risen and are a light, golden brown. Cool for five minutes, pop the mini pies out of the pan and then enjoy!View original recipe
