MAPLE-HONEY PECAN PIE



Maple-Honey Pecan Pie image

Substituting a combination of maple syrup and honey for the usual corn syrup in pecan pie makes for a complex and richly flavored confection that's still wonderfully gooey in the center. This recipe also has double the amount of pecans compared with most recipes, giving it plenty of crunch. You can bake it the day before serving; it keeps very well at room temperature for at least 24 hours. It also freezes reasonably well for up to 3 months, though the crust won't be quite as flaky.

Categories     pies and tarts, dessert

Time 1h30m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

All-purpose flour, for rolling out the dough
Dough for a 9-inch single crust pie
1/2 cup/115 grams unsalted butter
1/4 cup/85 grams maple syrup
1/4 cup/85 grams honey
1/2 cup/110 grams light brown sugar
1/2 cup/75 grams maple sugar or use more light brown sugar
3 large eggs, at room temperature
1 tablespoon bourbon (optional)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/2 cups/180 grams pecan halves
Flaky sea salt, such as Maldon (optional)

Steps:

  • On a lightly floured surface, roll dough into a 12-inch circle, and transfer to a 9-inch metal pie plate. Fold over any excess dough, crimping the edges. Transfer crust to the freezer for 30 minutes or up to 24 hours.
  • When ready to bake, place a rimmed baking sheet on the middle oven rack and heat oven to 425 degrees.
  • Heat a small saucepan and melt the butter over medium heat. Cook, swirling occasionally, until the foam subsides, the milk solids turn golden brown and the butter smells nutty and toasty, about 5 minutes. Add maple syrup to the pan and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens and reduces slightly, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat, and whisk honey into the warm syrup mixture. Let cool at least 10 minutes.
  • While the syrup mixture cools, combine sugars, eggs, bourbon (if using), vanilla and salt in a large mixing bowl. Gradually pour syrup mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly, then use a rubber spatula to scrape in all the brown bits at the bottom of the pot.
  • Remove pie crust from freezer and place pecans along the bottom of the crust. Carefully pour the filling over the pecans. Place pie plate on the hot sheet pan and bake for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees and continue to bake for another 35 to 45 minutes, until the center of the pie has puffed up and turned golden brown.
  • Transfer pie to a wire cooling rack, sprinkle with flaky sea salt, if you like, and allow to cool for at least 2 hours before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.

MAPLE CINNAMON PECAN HONEY SYRUP



Maple Cinnamon Pecan Honey Syrup image

This is a good syrup with a little different flavour. It does not need to be canned for finishing, just keep syrup in jar with a lid in the refrigerator. Processed in boiling water bath, it will keep for a year, if you don't process the syrup in canning jars it will keep in the refrigerator for a month or so.
