Honey Crunch Pecan Pie image

This is the winner of First Place in the Nut Category for the American Pie Council's 2000 National Pie Championship. I got this recipe in 2004 from Allrecipes. Those who are my friends know that I don't bake usually. This pie is a keeper. I've made this lots of times and I'm always asked for the recipe. It is delicious.

Time 1h30m

Yield 1 slice, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup shortening
6 tablespoons cold water
1 teaspoon distilled white vinegar
4 eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup white sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup light corn syrup
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup chopped pecans
1 tablespoon Bourbon
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons honey
1 1/2 cups pecan halves

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • To Make Crust: In a medium bowl, mix together flour and 1 teaspoon salt. Cut in shortening until mixture is crumbly. Gradually add water and vinegar. Cut together until mixture will hold together. Press dough into a ball and flour each side lightly. Wrap in plastic and chill for 20 minutes. Roll out between wax paper into a circle 1/8 inch thick and press into 9 inch pie pan.
  • To Make Filling: In a large bowl, combine eggs, 1/4 cup brown sugar, white sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, corn syrup, melted butter, vanilla extract, chopped pecans and bourbon. Mix well. Spoon mixture into unbaked pie shell.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove and cover edges of pastry with aluminum foil. Return to oven for 20 minutes.
  • To Make Topping: Combine 1/3 cup brown sugar, butter or margarine, and honey in a medium saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until sugar dissolves - about 2 minutes. Add pecans. Stir just until coated. Spoon topping evenly over pie.
  • Keep foil on edges of pastry and return pie to oven for an additional 10 to 20 minutes, until topping is bubbly and golden brown. Cool to room temperature before serving.

I've never made pecan pie before, but this recipe made it easy. It turned out great and I will definitely be making it again.

This pie was a little too sweet for my taste, but I think I just used too much honey. I would recommend using less honey if you don't like your desserts too sweet.

I made this pie for my husband's birthday and he loved it! He said it was the best pecan pie he's ever had.

I'm allergic to pecans, so I substituted walnuts in this recipe. It turned out great! I would definitely recommend this recipe to anyone, even if you're not allergic to pecans.

This recipe was a total disaster! The crust was too dry and the filling was too runny. I ended up throwing the whole thing away.

This pie was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. Other than that, it was a great recipe and I would recommend it to others.

I followed the recipe exactly and my pie turned out great! The only thing I would change is to add a little more salt to the crust.

I'm not a huge fan of pecan pie, but this recipe changed my mind! The honey crunch topping was the perfect addition, and the pie was overall very delicious.

This honey crunch pecan pie recipe was a hit at our Thanksgiving dinner! The filling was sweet and gooey, the pecans added a nice crunch, and the crust was flaky and buttery. I will definitely be making this again for Christmas.
