How to Store Pecan Pie
Once you have made these pecan pie cupcakes you want to make sure you are storing them correctly. Whether you are storing pecan pie or these pecan pie cupcakes, you want to keep them protected from the air. I like having a cupcake holder like this one. It makes it easy to move the cupcakes from one place to another but it also protects them from getting stale and dried out.

When you make these cupcakes, they will last about 5 days when they are stored properly. While the cupcakes will last long in the refrigerator, it will also cause them to dry out faster and taste stale.
