Butterscoch pecan pies

Its your favorite ice cream topping with some crunchy pecans for some texture wrapped in a fluffy pie crust.  Now that is yummy. I love butterscotch especially those candies that is a piece of butterscotch with pecans in the middle. I don't know what its called I just eat it. That is how I got this idea. But I was thinking it would be really good if you have a butterscotch creamy filling then you have crunch pecans in a yummy crust. Like that is a good finish to any delightful delicious dinner. Or you can just skip it and eat dessert first!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ingredients-
1 teaspoon cold water
1/2 teaspoon cider vinegar
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
2 ounces cold cream cheese, cut into small pieces.
1/4 cup pecans, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup butterscotch chips
2 tablespoons heavy cream
Powdered sugar, for dusting

Ingredients- 
Stir water and vinegar in a small bowl. Add flour and salt to a food processor; pulse to combine. 
Add butter and cream cheese to food processor and pulse until mixture becomes small crumbs. \
Add the water and process until dough forms a ball. 
Wrap dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, at least one hour.
Heat butterscotch chips and cream for 30 seconds in the microwave. Stir until combined and cool slightly.
Roll out dough onto your work surface. (If not using a Roul ‘Pat you will need to use flour so it does not stick.) Using a large round cookie cutter (mine was 3”) cut circles of dough, re-rolling as needed. 
Place circles on a parchment lined baking sheet and chill until ready to use.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Place about 3/4 teaspoon of the butterscotch mixture on each dough round. 
Cover with pecans. Fold over the dough, creating a semicircle.
 Pinch ends together with a fork.
Bake for about 20 minutes, until edges begin to brown slightly. Some of the filling make leak out, but that’s okay. Dust warm pies with powdered sugar.
Serve and enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
