1
: Make one recipe mini pie crust, then cut out and fit 6 circles into the muffin tin, making sure that there are no air bubbles on the bottom or sides of the pan. Chill for 30 minutes while you make your filling.
2
: Adjust oven rack to middle position and preheat oven to 350u00b0F. Beat the butter in a bowl until creamy. Add the brown sugar, flour, and salt. Mix until combined, then blend in the syrup.
3
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the bourbon and the vanilla and mix until completely incorporated.
4
Sprinkle the cooled pecans into the chilled shells (about 1/3 of the way up in each shell). Pour the custard mixture over the pecans, filling each cup up almost all the way to the edge.
5
Bake in oven for 20 minutes, then rotate and bake for 5-10 minutes, removing when they are very well browned.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
