If you’re looking for a pie or pie-like recipe, but not this one. Consider these:
Pecan Pie
This is a traditional Pecan Pie from Better Homes and Gardens. I've included it on the site as it's one of my favorite pies! But it's neither dairy-free or gluten-free and has tree nuts, and eggs. However, a gluten-free crust can address one of those sensitivities and plant-based butter another one. Eventually I'll find a vegan pecan pie for the site.
Ingredients
Pastry for a Single-Crust Pie
- 1 ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ tsp salt
- â…“ cup vegetable shortening
- 4 Tbsp cold water
Pecan Filling
- 3 eggs slightly beaten
- 1 cup corn syrup
- â…” cup sugar
- â…“ cup butter melted
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 ¼ cup pecan halves
Instructions
Pastry for a Single-Crust Pie
- Stir together flour and salt. Form dough into a ball.
- Using a pastry blender cutin shortening until pieces are pea-size. Sprinkle 1 Tbsp of the water over part of the mixture; gently toss with a fork. Push moistened dough to side of the bowl. Repeat moistening dough, using 1 Tbsp of the water at a time, until all the dough is moistened.
- On a lightly floured surface, use your hands to slightly flatten dough. Roll dough from center to edge in circle about 12 inches in diameter. Line a 9-inch pie plate with the pastry. Trim and then crimp edge as desired.
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
Pecan Filling
- Combine eggs, corn syrup, sugar, butter, and vanilla. Mix well. Stir in pecan halves
- Place the pastry-lined pie plate on the oven rack. Carefully pour the filling into the pastry shell.
- To prevent overbrowning, cover edge of the pie with foil. Bake for 35 minutes. Remove foil. Bake for 15-20 minutes more or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack. Cover and refrigerate within 2 hours.
Notes
You can use a store-bought pie crust to save about 20 minutes of prep-time. You can also use a gluten-free crust if needed.
