Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Unroll the pie crusts onto your work surface. Using a 5-inch circular cookie cutter, cut out 6 rounds from each crust. (Scraps can be re-rolled.)
Press a round into the bottom and up the sides of each muffin tin cup. Transfer the muffin tin to the fridge while you prepare the filling.
In a medium saucepan set over medium heat, combine the butter, brown sugar, honey and heavy cream. Simmer the mixture for 1 minute then remove it from the heat and stir in the pecans and vanilla extract.
Remove the muffin tin from the fridge then divide the pecan mixture among the cups.
Bake the pies until the crust is golden, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove the pies from the oven and let them cool completely in the muffin tin.
Once the pies have cooled, use a sharp knife to release them from the pan, then serve topped with whipped cream (optional).
