Pecan Dainties
Melt in your mouth delightful sweet mini tart. Prep time is about 25 minutes, cooking time is about 25 minutes. I picked up this recipe while working at Dangi. One day, I went to pick up our lunch at Mr. G's (the local tavern), and they had these on the counter for customers. I fell in love with them. I also make them with apricot, and raspberry (Solo) pie filling. I do not do anything to the filling, just put it in the crust. - Barbara Bieganski
