2 pillsbury refrigerated pie crust
1 1/2 Tbsp turbinado sugar(raw sugar) optional
1 large egg yolk blended w/1 tbs water

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat OVEN TO 425 DEGREES F. There is one picture in the above pictures where the pie is real dark on top. That is the RESULTS OF WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU FORGET TO LOWER THE TEMPERATURE AFTER THE FIRST 15 MINUTES OF BAKING. i LEFT IT SO YOU CAN SEE WHAT HAPPENS, if you DO NOT LOWER THE HEAT. So after the first 15 minutes of baking lower the temperature as directed. The pie at the bottom is what the finished pie is SUPPOSE TO LOOK LIKE AFTER BAKING.

  • 4. Combine brown sugar blend with cinnamon, salt, nutmeg & flour. Stir till blended.

Pinch the edges of both pie crust together, then roll edges in a rope like fashion or pinch with thumb and index finger. Brush top & sides and edges with egg wash or evaporated milk.

TURBINADO SUGAR is a type of raw sugar, commonly used by food stylist for decorating the tops of pies or cookies, and is usually found in most larger grocery stores.

Tips:

  • For the flakiest crust, use a combination of butter and shortening. Butter adds flavor, while shortening helps prevent the crust from becoming too greasy.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can make the crust by hand. Just use two knives to cut the butter and shortening into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Be sure to chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will help prevent the crust from shrinking in the oven.
  • To make sure the caramel filling doesn't burn, stir it constantly while it's cooking. You'll know it's done when it turns a deep amber color.
  • For a richer flavor, use dark brown sugar instead of light brown sugar in the caramel filling.
  • If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the caramel filling by dropping a small amount into a cup of cold water. If it forms a soft ball, the caramel is done.
  • To make sure the pecans are evenly coated in caramel, toss them in the caramel filling while it's still hot.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will give the caramel filling time to set.

Conclusion:

Caramel nut pie is a classic dessert that's perfect for any occasion. With its flaky crust, gooey caramel filling, and crunchy pecans, it's sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy-to-make dessert, give caramel nut pie a try.
