Steps
- 01Roll out the pie crust and cut 12 circles using a 3-inch round cutter. Press into mini muffin cups.

- 03Place 3 to 4 pecan halves in each shell.
- 04Pour the filling over the pecans, filling about 3/4 full.
- 05Ready for the air fryer.
Dark corn syrup has more flavor than light. If you only have light, add 1 tablespoon of molasses. The filling will bubble up during cooking and settle back down as it cools. Don't panic when they look like they're overflowing.
