Ingredients

• 1.25 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.33 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (cold, diced)
• 3 tablespoons Ice water
• 1 cups Pumpkin purée
• 0.33 cups Brown sugar
• 0.5 cups Heavy cream
• 2 large Eggs
• 1.5 teaspoons Pumpkin pie spice
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups Pecans (roughly chopped)
• 2 tablespoons Maple syrup

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, and salt.

Step 2

Cut the cold butter into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Add the ice water one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently after each addition, until the dough just comes together.

Step 4

Form the dough into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 5

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 12-cup muffin tin.

Step 6

On a floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to about 1/8-inch thick. Use a round cutter (about 4 inches in diameter) to cut circles from the dough. Press each circle into the muffin tin cups, trimming any excess.

Step 7

In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin purée, brown sugar, heavy cream, eggs, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 8

Divide the pumpkin filling evenly among the prepared tartlet crusts.

Step 9

In a small bowl, mix the chopped pecans and maple syrup. Sprinkle the pecan mixture evenly over the tartlets.

Step 10

Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.

Step 11

Allow the tartlets to cool in the muffin tin for 10 minutes before carefully removing them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 12

Serve at room temperature or chilled, optionally with a dollop of whipped cream.
