Looking for a sweet and nutty dessert that will satisfy your cravings? Look no further than Maple Pecan Treasures! This delectable dessert is a perfect combination of maple syrup and pecans, creating a rich and indulgent flavor that will leave you wanting more.

To make this delicious dessert, you will need the following ingredients:

- 1 cup of all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup of unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup of granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup of maple syrup
- 1/2 cup of chopped pecans
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt

For the filling:

- 1/2 cup of maple syrup
- 1/2 cup of chopped pecans
- 1/4 cup of unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup of brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt
To start, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the maple syrup and mix until well combined. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, mixing until a dough forms. Fold in the chopped pecans.
Next, roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness. Use a cookie cutter to cut out circles of dough and place them in a greased muffin tin. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
While the crusts are baking, prepare the filling. In a saucepan, combine the maple syrup, chopped pecans, butter, brown sugar, and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and becomes bubbly.
Once the crusts are done baking, remove them from the oven and spoon the filling into each one. Return the muffin tin to the oven and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the filling is set.
When finished, remove the Maple Pecan Treasures from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. These delicious treats are perfect for any occasion and are sure to be a hit with anyone who tries them!
