Pie crusts with a pumpkin filling and topped with sweet pecans all covered in real maple syrup! Pumpkin Pecan Tassies are calling your name!

Today I wanted to share with you this recipe for Pumpkin Pecan Tassies which is basically code for mini pumpkin pies with nuts! I love pie, but I love it even more in mini form! If you know me at all, you will understand my obsession with mini things. If not, see here. And here and here.

Ingredients Needed for Pumpkin Pecan Tassies

You only need 11 simple ingredients to make these Pumpkin Pecan Tassies! Let’s cut to the chase, here’s what you need:

• Pie Crust – you can either buy store-bought pie crust or make it yourself (All-Butter Pie Crust or Easy Pie Crust Recipe)
• Pumpkin Puree – this is just regular canned pumpkin, something all households need as a Fall pantry staple.
• Sugar, Pumpkin Pie Spice, and Salt – to sweeten, to spice it up, and to enhance all the other flavors, in that order!
• Egg and Half & Half – egg is used for structure while the half & half adds creaminess.
• Pecans, Brown Sugar, and Melted Butter – this mixture makes the pecan topping! Crunchy deliciousness.
• Maple Syrup – I like to top these tassies off with some real maple syrup and sometimes some homemade Whipped Cream!

How to Make Pumpkin Pecan Tassies

To make Pumpkin Pecan Tassies, you line a muffin tin with pie crust, then fill those cups with pumpkin filling and top it all off with the pecan topping. Bake, cool then top with maple syrup! For full details see the recipe card down below.

1. Preheat oven. Unroll pie crusts and cut out 24 rounds using a cookie cutter. Press each round into the bottom and sides of a muffin tin. Set aside.
2. In a large bowl, combine pumpkin, granulated sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Then stir in an egg. Next add half & half, in portions, until just combined.
3. For the pecan topping, mix pecans, brown sugar, and melted butter.
4. Spoon 2 teaspoons of pumpkin filling into each pie crust cup then top with 1 teaspoon of pecan topping. Bake until the filling has set. Remove tassies to a wire rack to cool. Drizzle with maple syrup when ready to serve.
