Ingredients

Graham Crust:

  • 2 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs

  • ¼ cup white sugar

  • 11 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Butter Tart Filling:

  • 1 cup light brown sugar

  • cup unsalted butter, softened

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • ¼ cup half-and-half

  • ½ cup raisins, or as needed (Optional)

  • ½ cup chopped pecans, or as needed (Optional)

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray 12 muffin cups with cooking spray.

  2. Stir graham cracker crumbs and white sugar together in a bowl; stir in melted butter until crumbs are coated. Press crumb mixture evenly into the bottom and partway up sides of prepared muffin cups.

  3. Bake shells in the preheated oven for 5 minutes. Remove shells from oven and keep oven at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

  4. Beat brown sugar and softened butter together in a bowl until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes. Beat eggs into sugar mixture, adding one at a time and beating until fully incorporated before adding next; beat in vanilla extract. Stir half-and-half into sugar mixture.

  5. Place a spoonful of raisins and pecans into the bottom of each shell; pour about 1/4 cup sugar mixture into each shell.

  6. Bake tarts in the preheated oven until bubbly, about 15 minutes. Remove tarts from oven and cool completely on a wire rack, about 15 minutes.
