Ann's Recipe Box

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper
Lay the pretzels on top of the baking sheet in a single layer
Place a caramel on top of each pretzel, centered
Place the baking sheet in the oven and “bake” for 3 to 4 minutes -just enough time for the caramels to soften.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and carefully but quickly place a pecan halve on top of each caramel and press down so the pecan almost touches the pretzel.
Allow the pretzel caramels to completely cool before serving.

Optional touch: If you want to add a bit of flair to each turtle, melt the chocolate chips in a small microwave safe container in the microwave for 60 seconds. Stir the chocolate chips and heat the chocolate in the microwave again for 30 seconds if necessary. Dip a fork in the chocolate and drizzle the chocolate over each turtle. Allow the chocolate to harden before serving or packaging.

DEEP DISH DERBY PIES

2 DEEP DISH PIE SHELLS .....Diane's, Nell's, Meg's Derby Pies.

1 1/2 cups sugar
6 large eggs
1 1/2 cups White Karo Syrup
1 1/2 Tablespoons flour
Beat above until creamy

Then beat in 1 1/2 sticks melted and COOLED unsalted butter

Then stir in:
1 1/2 cups chopped pecans
3/4 cup chocolate chips—semi-sweet-Hershey’s
1 1/2 Teaspoons vanilla

Bake 350 for 40-50 minutes……watch crusts…if they begin to brown too quickly, cover with tinfoil..
(after inserting toothpicks to prevent tinfoil from sticking to tops of pies)…Or make a covering with foil that is a circle that covers JUST the crusts.

Pies are done when newly inserted toothpicks come out clean.

This makes 2 pies… I use the Pillsbury pie crusts and do not spray or grease the pie plates.
My granddaughter, Murphy, makes her own crusts from scratch and they are delicious.

Mini Pumpkin Pies

These Mini Pumpkin Pies will be the cutest treat you serve this fall. They are the perfect handheld two-bite sweet to satisfy your pumpkin craving.

Prep Time15

Cook Time18

Total Time33

Course: Dessert

Cuisine: American

Servings:

Calories: 79

Author: Taryn

Ingredients

Pumpkin Filling:

½ cup pumpkin puree
3 tablespoon Joy Filled Eats Sweetener (or see alternatives in recipe notes)
2 tablespoon beaten egg (or carton egg whites)
1 tablespoon heavy cream
½ teaspoon cinnamon

Mini Tart Shells:

1.5 cup almond flour
1.5 teaspoon coconut flour
3 tablespoon butter
2 teaspoon cold water

Instructions

Make the tart shells. Preheat oven to 350. Mix the ingredients in a food processor until the dough comes together. Divide into 18 pieces and press into the holes of a well greased mini muffin tin. Prick the base of each with a fork. Bake for 6 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes.
Mix together the pumpkin filling ingredients. Spoon into the prepared tart shells. Bake for 12 minutes or until they no longer jiggly when lightly shaken.
Chill until cold. Run a small thin knife around the edge of each pie to loosen the mini pies from the muffin tin.
Alternatively, you may bake these in greased mini aluminum muffin liners.

Notes

Notes on Sweeteners:

I use my own blend of xylitol, erythritol, and stevia in my recipes. This is twice as sweet as sugar. It is comparable to Trim Healthy Mama Gentle Sweet and Truvia.

To sub in Swerve or Lakanto Monk Fruit use 1.5 times the amount of sweetener called for.

To sub in Pyure or Trim Healthy Mama Super Sweet use half the amount of sweetener called for.

Substitutions will work in most recipes. They may not work in candies, such as caramel.

Calories: 390

Author: Taryn

Ingredients

Crust:

2 ⅔ cups almond flour
3 teaspoon coconut flour
3 tablespoon cold butter
1 tablespoon cold water

Filling:

12 tablespoon softened butter
1.5 cup Joy Filled Eats Sweetener (or see alternatives in recipe notes)
2 teaspoon vanilla
2 oz heavy cream
2 egg
2 teaspoon molasses ***
1.5 cups pecans chopped (save ½ cup or so whole for the top)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350. Grease a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate very well with butter or shortening.
Put the almond flour, coconut flour, and butter in a food processor and pulse until crumbs form. Add the water and pulse until it comes together in a dough. Press into the bottom and halfway up the sides of the prepared pie plate. Prick the bottoms with a fork. Bake for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a medium bowl combine the butter and sweetener. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth. Add the vanilla, molasses, heavy cream, and egg. Beat until combined.
Stir in the chopped pecans. (Optional: set some aside to make a design on the top). Pour over the baked crust. The filling will be thick. Bake for 40-45 minutes until no longer jiggly and golden brown.
Cool completely. I prefer to make this a couple of days ahead of time. The flavor improves after being in the fridge for a bit.

Notes

Molasses: One teaspoon of molasses has 5 carbs. This recipe has 12 servings so each piece has less than 1 carb from the molasses. It is used for flavor, not sweetness, in this recipe. But you can just leave it out if you prefer. Alternatively, you can sub in a brown sugar sweetener such as Swerve Brown.

Gooiness: I love my pecan pie chock full of pecans. If you prefer a gooier pie simply cut the amount of pecans back to just 1 cup.

Notes on Sweeteners:

I use my own blend of xylitol, erythritol, and stevia in my recipes. This is twice as sweet as sugar. It is comparable to Trim Healthy Mama Gentle Sweet and Truvia.

To sub in Swerve or Lakanto Monk Fruit sweetener use 1.5 times the amount of sweetener called for.

To sub in Pyure or Trim Healthy Mama Super Sweet use half the amount of sweetener called for.

Substitutions will work in most recipes. They may not work in candies, such as caramel.
