How to Make Crunchy Pecan Pie Bites

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Spread 1 cup pecan halves in a single layer on a shallow baking sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until toasted and fragrant. Let cool slightly.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1/2 cup light corn syrup until well combined.
  4. Stir in the toasted pecans, 2 large eggs, 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) melted unsalted butter, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Mix until thoroughly incorporated.
  5. Spoon about 1 heaping teaspoon of the pecan mixture into each phyllo pastry shell. Arrange the filled shells on two large baking sheets.
  6. Bake for 20-22 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.
  7. Remove from oven and let cool completely on wire racks before serving.
  8. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
