My sister, Sharon brought a batch of these to my home and in about 2 days the four of us had finished them. Yes they are that good! These have a rich shortbread cookie style crust. The filling is similar in flavor to a traditional pecan pie but not quite as sweet or sticky in texture. They should be baked in 24 regular sized muffin tins. This recipe is a money saver over some other tart recipes since it uses pecan pieces. The smaller pieces of nuts are more attractive on the small little tarts and they give a pecan taste with every bite. Ingredients:
1 cup of softened butter |
1 (8 ounce) package of softened cream cheese |
1/2 cup granulated sugar |
2 cups white flour |
1 1/3 cups brown sugar |
2 beaten eggs |
2 tablespoons melted butter |
1 1/2-1 3/4 cups pecan pieces |
Directions:
1. CRUST:. 2. Blend softened butter, granulated sugar & cream cheese. 3. Add flour and cream together. 4. Press a small amount of crust mixture onto the sides and bottom of each 'oil sprayed' muffin cup. 5. FILLING:. 6. Mix brown sugar, beaten eggs, and melted butter together. 7. Add the pecan pieces. 8. Pour about 1 TSP of filling mixure into each crusted muffin cup. 9. Bake 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes. |
