pecan pie

Recipe by

Platte City, MO

I LOVE pie but my husband is not a sweets eater! These mini pies are perfect when I am craving sweets and I don’t feel guilty about eating the whole pie! They freeze well and thaw in about 15 min. Perfect with a cup of coffee when guests drop in (or for breakfast...)
