These are wonderful and lower in calories!

Ingredients

• 1 package refrigerated pie crust
• 3/4 cup pecan halves, chopped
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1 tsp cornstarch
• 1/2 cup granulated no-calorie sweetener (I use Splenda)
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 1 cup sugar-free maple syrup
• 1 1/2 tsp vanilla
• 3 tbsp butter, melted

Preparation

Step 1

Grease 12 muffin cups. Preheat the oven to 350.
Place one pie crust on a cutting board or flat surface and roll out lightly to an 11-inch diameter. Using a 4-inch round cutter, cut out six rounds.
Set scraps aside. Repeat with the second pie crust.

Lightly press the pastry rounds into 12 muffin cups, pressing into the bottom and up the sides. Set aside.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, sweetener and cornstarch. Add the eggs, syrup, vanilla and melted butter and mix well.

Stir in the chopped pecans. Divide the filling evenly among the 12 cups.
Bake for 30 - 35 minutes or until the tops and crust are nicely browned. Let cool slightly before serving.
