Name: Pumpkin-Pecan Tassies
Prep time: 30 min
Total time: 65 min
Yield: 24 tassies
Ingredients: 1 15 ounce package rolled refrigerated unbaked piecrust (2 crusts); ¾ cup canned pumpkin; ¼ cup granulated sugar; 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice; ⅛ teaspoon salt; 1 egg, lightly beaten; ¼ cup half-and-half, light cream, or milk; ⅓ cup chopped pecans; 1 tablespoon packed brown sugar; 1 tablespoon butter, melted; Maple syrup (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Let piecrusts stand according to package directions. Preheat oven to 350°F. Unroll piecrusts. Using a 2-1/2-inch round cookie cutter, cut 12 rounds from each piecrust. Gently ease pastry rounds into the bottoms and up the sides of 24 ungreased 1-3/4-inch muffin cups; set aside.

Step 2

For filling, in a large bowl stir together pumpkin, granulated sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Add egg; stir until combined. Gradually add half-and-half. Stir just until combined.
Step 3

For pecan topping, stir together pecans, brown sugar, and melted butter.
Step 4

Spoon about 2 teaspoons filling into each pastry-lined cup. Top each with a scant 1 teaspoon pecan topping. Bake about 35 minutes or until filling is set and crust is golden brown. Remove tassies from muffin cups and cool completely on a wire rack. If desired, drizzle tassies with maple syrup just before serving.
