  • 2 eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup corn syrup

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Beat eggs well; add sugar, corn syrup, and melted butter and beat until combined.
  3. Add currants, walnuts, vinegar, salt and vanilla extract; mix vigorously.
  4. Place circles of unbaked pie pastry into cornmeal-sprinkled muffin pans or silicone muffin cups. Paper cups work in a pinch as well.
