Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

Pecan Pie Filling

• ▢ ¾ cup coconut sugar
• ▢ ¾ cup honey
• ▢ ¼ cup maple syrup
• ▢ 2 tablespoons unsalted butter or dairy-free butter, melted
• ▢ 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• ▢ 3 large eggs
• ▢ ½ teaspoon salt
• ▢ 1 cup chopped pecans, used for filling
• ▢ ½ - 1 cup whole pecans, used for topping

Gluten-Free Crust

• ▢ 1 ¼ cup gluten-free flour 
• ▢ ⅓ cup unsalted butter, ghee, or dairy-free butter ( chilled)
• ▢ 1 large egg
• ▢ 2 tablespoons sugar
• ▢ ¼ teaspoon salt
• ▢ 1-2 tablespoons cold water, as needed

Instructions

 

Gluten-Free Crust

• Grease a 9-inch pie shell or 10-inch tart pan. Set Aside.
• Cut the butter into small chunks, then place the butter on a small plate in the freezer for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes remove the butter from the freezer and add it to your food processor with the flour and salt.
• Pulse the cold butter, flour, and salt until crumbly. If you do not have a food processor, you can use a pastry cutter or fork.
• Add the sugar and egg. Blend on high for around 20 seconds. The dough should hold together in the shape of a ball. If the dough is still too crumbly add 1-2 tablespoons of cold water.
• Shape the dough into a ball and flatten. Wrap the disk in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 1 hour.
• After 1 hour remove the dough from the refrigerator. Sprinkle about ¼ cup of flour on some parchment paper and with a rolling pin, proceed to roll the dough to about ¼ inch thick.
• Place dough down into the greased pie dish. Set aside for the filling.

Pecan Pie Filling

• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• On a fully lined baking sheet, spread out the chopped pecans evenly, then place the sheet in the oven and bake for 5 minutes. Remove the pecans from the oven and set aside to cool.
• Lower the temperature to 350°F.
• In a large mixing bowl whisk together the coconut sugar and salt.
• In a medium-size microwavable bowl, microwave the honey and maple syrup for 20 seconds, then add the liquid to the large mixing bowl. Mix on medium speed for 30 seconds.
• Add the melted butter and vanilla to the bowl and mix for 1 minute until smooth.
• Then add the eggs to the mixer one at a time and continue to mix until fully incorporated.
• In your prepared pie shell or tart pan, add the 1 cup of toasted chopped pecans to the bottom of the crust.
• Pour the filling over the top of the pecans. Mix the filling with a fork to avoid any pecans from sticking to the bottom.
• Top the pie with the remaining pecans in a circular pattern or any design you like on the top.
• Place the pie on a large baking and into the oven to bake for 25 minutes.
• After 25 minutes add a pie shield or foil to the top of the pie, to avoid over-browning. Continue to cook for another 10-15 minutes. The pie is finished baking when the edges of the filling are set and the middle is slightly wobbly and starting to puff.
• Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool at room temperature for two hours before serving. You can leave the pie out on the counter for 24 hours. After 24 hours refrigerator the pie for up to 4 days.
