Tooter's Mini pecan pies

I have also made these with pumpkin.. making a pumpkin pie
mix by adding an egg and some cream and pumpkin pie spices.

I also am using this idea to make mini Crab puff
pies. Crab puffs made with crab, cream cheese,
mayo, minced onions on top of the mini pie
crusts.

Anyways...Here is my recipe. Enjoy! Because it's
a mini pie, you don't have the problems that you
would have with a larger pie. Also, it's not as
expensive to make and you have more portion
control.


Tooter's Mini pecan pies

2 Tablespoons butter
1 1/4 cup of almond flour
4 oz (half of an 8 oz package) of cream cheese


Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Soften cheese and
butter and blend well. Stir in flour. Chill 1
hour. Shape into twenty-four 1-inch balls. Place
in ungreased small muffin tins. Press down to
form crust.

Filling

1 egg
1/4 cup of Splenda
1/2 cup of Diabetisweet
1 tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 Tablespoons brown Diabetisweet
3/4 cup of chopped pecans

Beat egg, sweetner, butter, and vanilla until smooth. Divide half the nuts among
pastry cups. Add egg mixture. Top with remaining
nuts.
Bake for 25 minutes or until Golden brown.

Loosen the mini pie's sides with a teaspoon, then
scoop them out and set them aside to cool.

Enjoy!
