How to Make Best Pecan Pie Tarts
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

- Stir in the pecans until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- If making a pie: Pour the pecan filling into your prepared 9-inch pie crust. If making tarts: Fill prepared tart shells to the top.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes for a pie, or 18-20 minutes for tarts, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached (it shouldn't be completely dry).
- Let cool completely on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
