SPLENDID SOUTHERN SPLENDA PECAN PIE



Splendid Southern Splenda Pecan Pie image

I never tell people this pie is made with Splenda, since most shy away from anything w/ low cal or no cal ingredients, thinking you jeopardize the flavor. Well, trust me, you'll never notice and your friends/family will never guess this isn't made w/ real sugar. And because this recipe uses Splenda, instead of traditional sugar,...

Provided by Heather McDaniel

Categories     Pies

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 stick butter
1 c splenda
1 c light corn syrup
3 large eggs (beaten)
1 c pecans, in pieces

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat pie crust lightly in flour, press and crimp into 9in pie pan, removing any extra dough. Set aside.
  • 2. In small saucepan, melt butter. Do not let it brown. Whisk in light corn syrup and Splenda. Spray measuring cup w/ PAM to reduce stickiness. Mixture will be a little clumpy, even after whisking. That's normal, and won't effect the end product. Let cool slightly, then stir in eggs. Mix well. Stir in pecans.
  • 3. Pour pecan mixture into pie shell. Poke around @ pecans til they are dispersed evenly. Bake 50-55 minutes. Start keeping an eye on the crust around 45 minutes. If it starts to get too dark, cover w/ aluminum foil. Let cool and serve.

BEST SOUTHERN PECAN PIE -- DIFFERENT



Best Southern Pecan Pie -- Different image

Same flavor, but not the ooey-gooeyness. Uses brown sugar instead of karo syrup. I checked Zaar and couldn't find the same recipe. The USA southeast area has used this recipe for years. It is a Blue Ribbon WINNER! I would not go back to the syrup recipe. This makes 2 pies using a regular size pie shell and freezes well if you want to freeze one. Butter is best, but you can use margarine. (It is important to use the cornmeal in this recipe.) I prefer my pecans in broken pieces because the slices will cut better. Easy to make and easy to travel to a potluck. You'll be glad you tried this delightful pie!!

SOUTHERN PECAN PIE BARS RECIPE - (3.9/5)



Southern Pecan Pie Bars Recipe - (3.9/5) image

Provided by kayjayjohnson

Number Of Ingredients 12

CRUST:
1 cup butter, softened
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup confectioner's sugar
PIE:
3 eggs
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup corn syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 stick butter, melted
Pinch salt
2 cups pecans

Steps:

  • CRUST: Preheat oven to 350º F. Mix together butter, flour, and confectioner's sugar. Press into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking pan. Bake for approximately 15 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. PIE: Beat eggs. Add sugar and mix. Add corn syrup, salt and vanilla. Mix in melted butter. Add pecans and pour onto crust. Bake 30 minutes until golden brown.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. Freshly ground spices, pure vanilla extract, and real butter will make a big difference in the flavor of your pie.
  • Don't overwork the dough. Overworking the dough will make it tough. Mix it just until it comes together, then wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out.
  • Blind bake the pie crust before filling it. This will help to prevent the crust from becoming soggy.
  • Use a light touch when stirring the filling. Over-stirring can make the filling tough.
  • Bake the pie until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown. A toothpick inserted into the center of the pie should come out clean.

Conclusion:

Southern pecan pie is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its rich, buttery filling and flaky crust, it is sure to be a hit with everyone. So next time you are looking for a special treat, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
