Tooter's Mini pecan pies
Just invented these last night and they are AWESOME! Since then, I have made mini cherry pies (with the no sugar Cherry pie filling with splenda).
I also am using this idea to make mini Crab puff pies. Crab puffs made with crab, cream cheese, mayo, minced onions on top of the mini pie crusts. Anyways...Here is my recipe. Enjoy! Because it's a mini pie, you don't have the problems that you would have with a larger pie. Also, it's not as expensive to make and you have more portion control. Tooter's Mini pecan pies 2 Tablespoons butter 1 1/4 cup of almond flour 4 oz (half of an 8 oz package) of cream cheese Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Soften cheese and butter and blend well. Stir in flour. Chill 1 hour. Shape into twenty-four 1-inch balls. Place in ungreased small muffin tins. Press down to form crust. Filling 1 egg 1/4 cup of Splenda 1/2 cup of Diabetisweet 1 tablespoon butter 1 teaspoon vanilla 1 teaspoon Black Strap Molasses Dash of salt 3/4 cup of chopped pecans Beat egg, sweetner, butter, vanilla, Molasses and salt until smooth. Divide half the nuts among pastry cups. Add egg mixture. Top with remaining nuts. Bake for 25 minutes or until Golden brown. Loosen the mini pie's sides with a teaspoon, then scoop them out and set them aside to cool. Enjoy! |

I'm sure splenda can be subbed. I'm so happy to see a recipe w/ almond flour!!
oh also, do you think these can be frozen?

Does WalMart sell Diabetisweet or am I thinking of something else??? I need to place an order with Neitrition but haven't had a chance to get my shopping list together yet!
Thanks a lot! Pam

I have never found it locally around here. But I am a big online shopper. With vendors like netrition and their reasonable shipping rates I spend less money in shipping than I would in gas running around looking for this stuff.....

Tooter, I made these today and they are excellent. A little sweet for me, but so is high carb pecan pie. But my husband (the pecan pie eater) loves them!!! And very easy to make. Thanks so much for this recipe. Joan

Hey, experiment with the pie crust and different pie fillings. I'm thinking I could do a mini apple pie...It would only take about 1 apple so it would have WAY less carbs. I think the filling would have to be cooked first (like already made pie filling) and then just fill the tiny cups like you did the pecan pies. I did make them with the crab puffs and it was awesome. So this little pie crust is something we can fill for appetizers too. |

Cool ideas, Tooter!
when I want a small, fast "apple pie" filling, I just peel, core, and cube an apple..using a Nuker-safe bowl, add apple cubes, a few sprinkles of Cinnamon, some DiabetiSweet Brown...even a splash of any sf DaVinci that goes well with apples..Nuke on High for a few minutes...way faster and less messy than cooking on the stove. (a few fresh/frozen cranberries added to the mix is festive too...they require a tad more sweetener) Ooops!...forgot to mention, I run the cranberries thru a mini-processor first, so they cook/nuke as fast as the apple cubes..

Hey, thanks for letting us know we can buy it at WM. I just went and found it there in the diabetic section. I never get around to ordering online at Netrition so this was great

Tooter, these are great, thanks!
I'll answer your question for what I did, BB. I didn't grease mini pans at all, the butter and nuts are plenty of grease. Did not use silicone pans either, regular metal pans. |

Can this be made as a "large" 9 inch pie? I need to take a pie for dinner on Saturday? Or should I use a different recipe , such as Kevinpa's recipe for pie using the isomalt syrup?
Thanks! Kay |

[COLOR="Red"]Hi Kay,
Doin good. And you? I haven't seen much of ya in a while. Guess the grandkids are keepin ya busy. The pie is good. I think I over cooked mine during the pre-cook stage. I'm at a very hight altitude, and think that affected the way it cooked. I kept waiting for a stage it never got to, and waitin for the temp to reach the 160. I'm not sure I need it to go to 160 here. It is chewy but good. I do thin I'll try Tooter's some time too. Think they will be good for when the pecan pie erge just hits me. Wanted the full pie for Thanksgiving. Had been wanting to try it for a while. Opps thread jack.[/COLOR]
