Scale
- 1 package pie crusts (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup pecans (chopped or whole)
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Roll out the pie crust on a floured surface to about 1/8 inch thick and cut into circles that fit your muffin tin cups.

- Allow to cool slightly before removing from the muffin tin.
