Pecan Pie Puffs Perfect Finger Food Desert

Published: Dec 5, 2014 · This post may contain affiliate links

Pecan Pie Puffs are a great little pie dessert to whip up! Pecan Pie Puffs are a great finger food dessert to make for any holiday get-together or a party potluck. They are super easy to make, and they taste amazing!

Great for Thanksgiving dessert! 

I love pie, and I think it's even better when you can hold it in your hand.  John called these bite-size pies, and they were a hit for everyone. We are always going to potlucks, and I plan to make these up for the next one.

These are the perfect sweet treat for your Thanksgiving table. A fun new spin on pecan pie that is bite-size.

ingredients

Pecan Pie Puffs Ingredients

  • Puff Pastry Cups
  • Brown Sugar
  • Butter
  • Egg
  • Corn Syrup
  • Vanilla
  • Cinnamon
  • Pecans, chopped

Equipment Needed

Large Mixing Bowl - We are big fans of this glass batter bowl that has a handle. It makes it easy to mix ingredients and keeps the mixing bowl steady on the counter.

Heat resistant potholders - A couple of years ago we had a fire scare when we didn't realize we had turned a burner on and a cloth potholder caught fire. Thankfully we walked by the kitchen and saw the smoke and were able to get it out ourselves. Since then we have only used these heat-resistant potholders.

Parchment Paper -  I love that I can use parchment paper to help make clean-up a breeze.

Baking Sheets - We are huge fans of these baking sheets with sides. You don't have to worry; you will remove the cookies from the oven and have them slide right off.

Remove the pastry and push down the centers with the handle of a wooden spoon.

Carefully spoon about a teaspoon of the pecan mixture into each pastry cup, the pecans should be sticking out of the top slightly.
