UPSIDE-DOWN PECAN PIE



Upside-Down Pecan Pie image

This confection is for the pecan-pie fan who prefers nuts and caramel to the traditional butterscotch filling. Serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Pie & Tarts Recipes

Yield Makes one 10-inch pie

Number Of Ingredients 8

12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter
1/2 cup honey
1 cup packed light-brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
4 cups pecan halves (about 1 pound)
3/4 cup heavy cream
All-purpose flour, for dusting
1/2 recipe Pate Brisee for Upside-Down Pecan Pie

Steps:

  • In a 10-inch cast-iron skillet over medium heat, combine butter, honey, and sugars. Bring to a boil; let boil for 4 minutes. Add pecans and heavy cream, and boil 3 minutes more. Remove from heat, and set aside. Let stand about 30 minutes to cool. Using a wooden spoon, gently mound pecans and caramel slightly in center of skillet, leaving a gap between pecans and edge of skillet.
  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.with rack in the top third. On a clean, lightly floured work surface, roll out one disk of prepared chilled pastry to approximately a 7/8-inch-thick, 13-inch-diameter circle. Place the pastry over the skillet, carefully tucking the dough down against the edge of the skillet and around the edges of the mound of pecans. Trim the excess dough.
  • Place two rimmed baking sheets, one on top of the other, underneath the skillet to catch any drips while the pie bakes and to provide insulation for the caramel. Place skillet in the oven, and bake pie until the dough is just turning golden brown, about 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees, and continue baking until the pastry is cooked through and the caramel is bubbling up around the edges of the skillet, about 30 minutes more.
  • Remove the pie from the oven, and let cool about 20 minutes. Carefully invert the pie onto a parchment-lined tray or baking sheet (the pie is easy to transfer to serving plate once it has been inverted). Be careful inverting pie; the caramel is very hot. If the pie does not release easily from skillet, heat the skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds. Serve warm.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and prevent any mishaps.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your pie will taste. If possible, use local and organic produce.
  • Don't Overmix the Dough: Overmixing the dough will make it tough. Mix it just until it comes together.
  • Chill the Dough: Chilling the dough before rolling it out will make it easier to work with and prevent it from shrinking in the oven.
  • Blind Bake the Crust: Blind baking the crust before filling it will help to prevent it from becoming soggy.
  • Use a Variety of Nuts: Don't just stick to pecans. You can also use walnuts, almonds, or hazelnuts.
  • Add Spices for Flavor: A little bit of cinnamon, nutmeg, or ginger can add a lot of flavor to your pie.
  • Don't Overcook the Pie: The pie is done when the filling is set and the crust is golden brown. Overcooking will make the filling dry and the crust tough.

Conclusion:

Skillet pecan pie is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its buttery crust, gooey filling, and crunchy pecans, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a special treat, give skillet pecan pie a try. You won't be disappointed!
