How to Make Best Pecan Pie Tarts

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the light corn syrup, dark corn syrup, granulated sugar, brown sugar, melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
  3. Stir in the pecans until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
  4. 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.
  5. 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).
