DEEP-DISH PECAN PIE

Categories     dessert

Time 1h35m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Nonstick cooking spray
1 store-bought refrigerated pie crust
4 cups chopped pecans
1 cup honey
3/4 cup dark brown sugar
3 whole large eggs plus 3 yolks
1 cup stout beer or other dark beer
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoon all-purpose flour
Caramel Sauce, recipe follows
2 cups sugar
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Spray the inside of a 9-inch springform pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Roll out the pie crust, place into the prepared pan and prick the bottom with a fork. Fill the crust with chopped pecans. Transfer to the refrigerator until the filling is done.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the honey, dark brown sugar, eggs and egg yolks until smooth. Whisk in the beer and allow the foam to settle.
  • Stir the melted butter into the flour in a separate bowl until smooth and lump free. Whisk the butter mixture into the sugar filling until well combined.
  • Remove the crust from the refrigerator and fill with the sugar mixture. Place the pie in the center of the oven and bake until the center is set, 50 to 55 minutes. It will still move a little but it won't roll in the pan. Remove from the oven and cool to room temperature before serving. Serve with the Caramel Sauce.
  • In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the sugar and 1/4 cup water. Add the lemon juice, and brush down the sides of the pot with a wet pastry brush to remove any sugar crystals from the sides of the pot. Bring to a boil. When the sugar starts to turn brown, after about 7 minutes, slowly pour in the cream, whisking constantly. The sauce will bubble dramatically so be careful. When the cream is incorporated, return to a boil, stirring constantly. Once it has returned to a boil, remove from the heat and whisk in the butter, stirring until melted.
  • Serve immediately or cool completely and store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to one week.

CHOCOLATE CHIP KAHLUA® PECAN PIE



Chocolate Chip Kahlua® Pecan Pie image

Kahlua®, pecan, and chocolate pie; that is the perfect autumn desert. The chocolate chips don't make it too sweet and add just the right texture to a pecan pie. The Kahlua® tastes better if you let the pie sit for a day or two. This is not just your typical pecan pie. You can substitute Kahlua®-flavored coffee syrup for the Kahlua® liqueur, if desired. Serve warm or at room temperature.

MAMA'S PECAN PIE - DEE DEE



Mama's Pecan Pie - Dee Dee image

This is a beautiful pie I was proud to display for our Thanksgiving Dinner. When I was cooking the mixture on the stove it almost smelled like butter toffee! I did shield the crust after I added the pecans to prevent the crust from burning. It turned out great!

Categories     Pies

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 large eggs
3/4 cup(s) sugar
1 cup(s) white karo syrup
2/3 stick(s) butter, melted
1 teaspoon(s) vanilla
1 cup(s) pecans (halves or chopped)
1 - 9-inch pie shell, unbaked
INGREDIENTS FOR RICHER PECAN PIE
3 large eggs
1 cup(s) sugar
1 cup(s) dark karo syrup
1 stick(s) butter, melted
1 teaspoon(s) vanilla extract
1 cup(s) pecans (halves or chopped)
1 - 9-inch pie shell, unbaked

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Beat eggs; add sugar and cream well.
  • Add Karo syrup, melted butter, and vanilla; mix well. Pour into uncooked pie shell and cover with pecans. NOTE: Shield the crust with strips of aluminum foil to prevent burning edges of crust.
  • Bake about 40 to 55 minutes @ 350° or until it doesn't shake more than jello would.
  • I found this info online at: http://www.squidoo.com/perfect-pecan-pie#module156619723 WHAT MAKES MY PIE RUNNY? The first time I made pecan pie, it was perfect. The filling was gooey and delicious, not the least bit runny. Maybe it was beginner's luck, because the second time I made pecan pie, it was runny. The third time, it was more like pecan soup. The fourth time, I cooked it longer, which produced burnt pecan soup. So I asked questions and experimented. Whenever I planned to take one to a potluck supper, I made two pies--one for me to taste, to see if it was acceptable; and the other to share (or throw away, depending on how that first pie tasted). Eventually I got it right. Now I am so confident in my pecan pie baking skills that I only bake one pie, and take it to a party without even testing it first. Here's the thing: Pecan pie filling is like a custard without the milk. The eggs make it set up. Never use a store-bought crust in an aluminum pan. Measure your ingredients carefully, because baking is more science than art. Verify your oven temperature is really at 350. (Don't trust your dial.). And remove it from the oven when when a toothpick comes out with just a tiny bit of gooey goodness on it. if that still isn't enough, try one or more of these suggestions: •If you're using a frozen crust, try a fresh crust You don't need to add the extra moisture. •If you're cutting your cooking time short to avoid overbrowning, or cooking at less than 350 for the same reason, don't. If your crust is burning too soon, cover the edges with foil or with a pie crust protector. Remove it for the last fifteen minutes of baking. (See below for more information.) •Throw in a few extra pecans. In fact, that's a good idea even if you don't have trouble with runny pies. •Add a fourth egg or a tablespoon of flour or cornstarch. Any of these options should make your pie filling more solid.

DEE DEE'S PECAN PIE



DEE DEE'S PECAN PIE image

Categories     Nut

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 pie crusts
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup white sugar
2 tablespoons flour
1 cup Karo white syrup
2 teaspoons melted margarine
4 eggs beaten
1 teaspoon flavoring (vanilla)

Steps:

  • Mix all together and pour in pie shells then sprinkle pecans on top and place on cookie pan and bake 350 degrees oven 50 minutes. Note from Judy: I found if using 2 deep dish pie crusts I did 1 1/2 times recipe. Also, her recipe said to bake 30 minutes, but mine are never done after 30 minutes. I think it is the thickness of the pie. Note from 3/16/2014: Add chopped pecans to the mix and then pour into the pie pans. Then place pecan halves on top of the mix.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality pecans. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your pie.
  • Toast the pecans before using them. This will enhance their flavor and make them more fragrant.
  • Don't overmix the pie filling. Overmixing can make the filling tough.
  • Bake the pie until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will allow the filling to set properly.

Conclusion:

Pecan pie is a classic Southern dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its rich, buttery filling and crispy crust, it's sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. If you're looking for a delicious and easy-to-make pecan pie recipe, be sure to give this one a try. You won't be disappointed!
