Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly spray a mini muffin tin with cooking spray.
Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt. Cut in the cold diced butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently with a fork until the dough starts to come together. Form the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/8 inch thickness. Using a round cookie cutter (about 2.5 inches in diameter), cut out circles and press them gently into the wells of the mini muffin tin. Re-roll scraps as needed.
Prepare the filling: In a medium bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, corn syrup, large egg, vanilla extract, and melted butter until smooth. Stir in the chopped pecans.
Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the pecan filling into each prepared crust, taking care not to overfill.
Bake the mini pies in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the pies cool in the tin for 5-10 minutes before carefully transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve at room temperature and enjoy your one-bite pecan pies!
