Bite Sized Pies Are Perfect For Guests

I opted to use phyllo pastry for these mini pies instead of the traditional pie crust. It’s much letter and I love the added crispiness it lends to each bite. It makes these pies perfectly light and way too easy to eat!

The added caramel in these pecan pies, really makes these little bites special. They are creamy and indulgent and every bite is like a little piece of heaven! They are such a crowd pleaser and really popular with everyone of all ages. Ditch the full sized pie this year and try these mini pies instead!
