Pecan Pie
Discover a timeless pecan pie recipe passed down through generations. My grandma's easy recipe for classic holiday dessert.
Ingredients
- 1 ¾ cup whole pecans
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- 1 cup corn syrup
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 3 Tbs ground flaxseed meal
- ¼ cup milk
- 2 Tbs oil
- ¼ tsp sea salt
- 2 Tbs flour
- 9 inch pie crust
Instructions
- Prep the Oven and Pecans: Preheat your oven to 350°F. In a food processor, combine 1 cup of the whole pecans and the brown sugar. Pulse until the mixture resembles a coarse meal.
- Make the Filling Base: In a large bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, corn syrup, cinnamon, vanilla extract, flaxseed meal, milk, oil, and sea salt until smooth.
- Combine Ingredients: Add the pecan-brown sugar meal and the chopped pecans to the liquid mixture. Stir until everything is well combined.
- Add Flour: Gradually stir in the flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the batter is thick but still pourable.
- Assemble and Bake: Pour the batter into the unbaked pie crust. Arrange the remaining 1 ½ cups of whole pecans on top in a decorative pattern.
- Bake and Cool: Bake for 45 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown. Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving. This allows the filling to firm up properly.
