This is the perfect amount of Pecan Pie in a tiny package! So good, so easy and fun to make.

- 1 egg, beaten

- lay the rounds on a cookie sheet, poke with a fork twice and chill for 30 min
- while dough is chilling, make filling - in a saucepan on the stove melt butter, brown sugar and a pinch of salt, bring to a boil and boil until frothy (this should only take 1-2 minutes) remove from heat and stir in chopped pecans, set aside to cool
- preheat oven to 350°, spray a cupcake tin with cooking spray
- spread the rounds out just a little to make a small valley, add 1 heaping teaspoon of filling to the center and top with another piece of dough, using a fork seal the edges and put in a cupcake tin
