Pre-bake the Crust
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the crusts in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove and let cool.
Filling Preparation

Prepare the Filling
In a large mixing bowl, combine chopped pecans, granulated sugar, light corn syrup, beaten eggs, vanilla extract, and melted butter. Mix until well combined.

Fill the Crusts
Once the crusts have cooled, spoon the pecan filling evenly into each crust, filling them to the top.

Bake the Mini Pecan Tarts
Return the filled tart pans to the oven and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly puffed.

Cool and Serve
Remove from the oven and let the mini pecan tarts cool in the pans for about 10 minutes. Carefully remove from pans and serve warm or at room temperature.
