Ingredients

• 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
• 1/4 cup melted butter
• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/4 cup corn syrup
• 1/4 cup melted butter
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup raisins or pecans (optional)
• Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream (for serving)

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
2. In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter, mixing until the crumbs are evenly coated. Press about a tablespoon of the crumb mixture into the bottom of each muffin cup, creating a firm base.
3. In a separate bowl, mix together brown sugar, corn syrup, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
4. If desired, add raisins or pecans to the mixture and stir gently.
5. Spoon the filling mixture evenly into each of the prepared graham cracker crusts, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set. Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes.
7. Gently remove the tarts from the muffin tin and place them on a wire rack to cool completely.
8. Serve the Graham Crust Butter Tarts at room temperature, topped with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.
