These mini pecan pies taste just like the classic holiday pie but in cute, individual portions. Perfect for Christmas, Thanksgiving, parties, or whenever you want a rich, caramel-pecan treat without slicing a big pie.
This recipe uses refrigerated pie crust to keep things super simple, but you still get a buttery, flaky shell and a gooey pecan filling.
