Remember when bacon was trending? Or is it still? I don’t know, but for awhile there bacon and mustache anything was at its prime. I still cook bacon into anything I can possibly fit it in without it being too awkward, but in college I remember taking it to a new level. One year at our old we had a ministry fair after service and Kev and I were manning the booth for worship team sign-up. Every booth was instructed to bring a snack, so what did we bring? Bacon strips and a big old bowl of melted chocolate for dipping. We had reached a whole new sphere in the bacon craze…

Also around that time I made my first maple bacon pecan pie and lives were changed. I remember bringing it to Kevin’s apartment where he lived with a few other guys and there ended up being a slight disagreement on who was to get the last piece. I’m not sure who ended up winning, but it caused quite a scene among the friends.

Anyways, I was curious about making a pecan pie in the pressure cooker but hadn’t seen any recipes for it thus far so I decided to give it a few test runs myself! Rather than make a whole pie, which I have a feeling might be a bit tricky for a few different reasons, I went with the mini ramekin pies. They’re perfect for single serving desserts and only take 10 minutes of high pressure cook time.

The key to a good maple bacon pecan pie is to make sure that your bacon bits are chopped up small enough that they get sufficiently crispy when fried, and also to toast your pecans with the fried bacon and syrup/honey. That’s the secret magic sauce!

These mini pies are also crustless, so if you’re gluten-free or have gluten-free friends coming over for holiday dinners, these will be perfect!
