Ingredients

1 (14.1 ounce) package double-crust pie pastry, thawed
1 cup white sugar
2 large eggs, beaten
5 tablespoons dark corn syrup
3 tablespoons butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup chopped pecans

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Prepare eight 3-inch tart tins by lightly greasing them.
Roll out your favorite pastry dough and cut eight 5-inch circles. Gently press the pastry circles into the greased tart tins.
In a large bowl, combine sugar, eggs, corn syrup, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined, then stir in the pecans. Carefully spoon the pecan filling into each pastry-lined tart tin, filling them about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven until the pastry turns golden brown and the filling is set. This should take approximately 30 to 35 minutes.
