A while back I stumbled upon this recipe for Pumpkin Pecan Tassies over on BHG and immediately knew they had to be part of FCW. I love that they resemble mini pies. Given that this is also A Year of Pie on IBC, they just fit nicely into everything.
The only hesitation I had about making these was the pecan topping. Growing up, I wasn’t really a fan of nuts in or on food. So I have this subconscious fear that anything with nuts is going to be totally gross. However, as an adult my tastes have changed, and I honestly now enjoy pecans and many other kinds of nuts. I just need to break that weird mindset.
I’m happy to report that the pecan topping on these tassies is what really brings these cookies together.
If you love pumpkin pie, than you are totally going to love these. This cookie is like a bite-sized pumpkin pie with a sugary crunchy topping. Seriously, you can’t go wrong. I think these would be great to serve at a causal party. You can hold a glass of wine with one hand and pop these in your mouth with the other. That’s my kind of party!
Give them a try and let me know what you think.
It’s time to return to my baking. I’ll meet you back here tomorrow.

Pumpkin Pecan Tassies
Ingredients
- 1 package refrigerated pie crusts*
- 1 cup pumpkin
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup half & half or milk
Pecan Topping:
- 1/3 cup pecans chopped
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon butter melted
Instructions
- Begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees F.
- Then, unroll your pie crusts. Use a 2 1/2 inch round cookie cutter (or the mouth of a drinking glass) and cut 12 rounds from each crust. Gently press the rounds into the ungreased cups of a mini muffin pan. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin, sugar, spices, and salt. Next add your egg, then stir to combine. Slowly add your half & half, stirring once again until smooth.
- In a small bowl, make your pecan topping by combining the pecans, brown sugar, and melted butter.
- Using a spoon, add about 2 teaspoons of the pumpkin filling to each crust-lined cup. Then, top each with about 1 teaspoon of the pecan topping.
- Bake for about 30 minutes or until the filling is set and the crust begins to brown. Allow the tassies to cool slightly before removing from the tin. Cool them completely on a wire rack.
These look freaking amazing!! Any ideas for an alternate topping……my boys are allergic to nuts. Oh how I miss nuts!!!
These are being added to my fall list. Thanks so much for posting. As for an alternative topping you could put a small cutout crust shape on top or a crumb topping of melted butter, sugar and cinnamon.
So cute! And delicious and doable as well. You’re making it impossible to pick a favorite cookie;)
Again, anything pumpkin is automatically my favorite food but add in pecans and make it like a mini pecan pumpkin pie?! YES! Thank you for sharing!
