Ingredients
- 15 pieces Mini phyllo pastry shells
- 15 pieces Pecan halves
- 0.5 cups Finely chopped pecans
- 0.25 cups Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Arrange the mini phyllo pastry shells on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 3
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the chopped pecans, brown sugar, maple syrup, melted butter, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Mix well to form a sticky filling mixture.
Step 4
Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the pecan filling into each pastry shell, filling it nearly to the top.
Step 5
Place a single pecan half on top of the pecan mixture in each shell for garnish and extra crunch.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes, or until the filling is set and the shells are golden brown.
Step 7
Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the pecan pie bites cool completely before serving. The filling will firm up as they cool.
Step 8
Serve at room temperature and enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
