1 package (14.1 ounces) refrigerated pie pastry
1/2 cup raisins
1 cup water
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1/3 cup butter, melted
1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Vanilla ice cream, optional

1
Preheat oven to 425u00b0. Line 12 muffin cups with foil liners. (Do not use paper-lined foil liners.)
2
On a work surface, unroll pastry sheets. Cut 12 circles with a floured 4-in. round cookie cutter (save remaining pastry for another use). Gently press pastry circles onto bottom and up sides of foil liners. Refrigerate while preparing filling.
3
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine raisins and water; microwave on high 2 minutes. Drain; cool slightly.
4
In a small bowl, mix egg, brown sugars, melted butter, vanilla and salt until blended; stir in pecans and raisins. Spoon into pastry cups, dividing evenly.
5
Bake on a lower oven rack until filling just begins to bubble up and crusts are light golden brown, 7-9 minutes (do not overbake). Cool completely in pan on a wire rack. If desired, serve with ice cream.
