Pecan Tarts
SUBMITTED BY:
Jean Rhodes
"The flaky crust combined with a rich center makes these little tarts a satisfying snack to serve and eat. They look so appealing on a pretty platter and make a great finger-food dessert when you're entertaining. They also freeze well. -Jean Rhodes, Tignall, Georgia"

Delicious and very easy to make. I didn't have a small cupcake pan, so I used the larger ones instead. I doubled the recipe, and everything came out just perfect!

They are really yummy! Can be made by making biscuit size rounds of pie dough, for an even quicker dessert.

These were very cute and very good! I add cool whip to the top - Yummy! My husband loved them. They taste like little pecan pies but better because they're not quite as sweet.

I am rating the filling for this recipe as I didn't use the shell part. I took someone else's suggestion and used a pie crust. I had ready made pie crust in the fridge already so I used a glass and cut circles out and formed them into the mini muffin pan and then added the filling. I have tried other crust recipes for these type of tarts and I have yet to find a good one that doesn't bulk up too much, so the pie crust worked out well. The filling was super tasty.

I could not find my mothers pecan tart recipe, so I was pleased to find this one. It is the same recipe, except that I ground the pecans and sprinkled powered sugar on top instead of the cherries.

These were exquisite, not to mention adorable! They look like mini-pecan pies, but have a uniquely wonderful flavor. My only (minor) issue is that the tops came out looking dried out, which makes them somewhat less appealing. I'm not wild about maraschino cherries, which would disguise that a bit, so I brushed some vanilla glaze on the tops, which helped a lot. A dollop of whipped cream might be even better! Can't wait to make these again!

Great tasting recipe. I made it exactly as the recipe stated. It baked up quickly and came out of the pan so easily.
