These are tiny pies that really make a nice presentation on a buffet table. The recipe is for a regular muffin tin. However, I have used a mini muffin tin...in this instance, you need to watch the baking time, as the smaller pies may cook a little more quickly.
Ingredients:
3 ounces cream cheese
1/2 cup butter
1 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon butter
1 egg, beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2/3 cup chopped pecans
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350F.
2. Grease muffin tins and set aside.
3. In a medium mixing bowl blend softened cream cheese and 1/2 cup butter or margarine until thoroughly combined.
4. Add flour and mix well.
5. Place in refrigerator to chill.
6. In a medium mixing bowl combine brown sugar and 1 tablespoon butter or margarine.
7. Add egg and vanilla, and blend well.
8. Stir in pecans.
9. Roll crust into 18 equal balls and press one into each greased muffin tin so it lines the bottom and sides, like a pie crust.
10. Pour in filling, distributing evenly between all cups.
11. Bake in preheated oven for 25 minutes.
