    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.

    Stir in the pecans

    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.

    Bake until cooked through and set, 9-12 minutes.

    Remove and let cool before serving.

    Store leftovers in an airtight container.
