Pecanlesspie Recipes

Steps:

• For the crust: Pulse the flour, granulated sugar and salt in a food processor until combined, about 8 times. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture resembles cornmeal with pea-size bits of butter, about 10 times. Add the egg and pulse 1 to 2 times more. If the dough is very dry, add up to 1 tablespoon of cold water. Pulse again until the dough starts to clump together and there is no visible flour, 8 to 10 pulses. Transfer the dough to a piece of plastic wrap, form into a disk and wrap it with the plastic. Refrigerate until chilled, at least 1 hour and up to overnight.
• Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface into a 12-inch circle, about 1/8 inch thick. Transfer the dough to a 9-inch pie pan and trim the edges, leaving about a 1-inch overhang. Tuck the excess dough underneath itself to form a thick edge that is flush with the rim. Crimp the edge as desired. Freeze the pie shell until firm, about 30 minutes.
• For the filling: Meanwhile, arrange oven racks in the center and lower third of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F.
• Spread the pecans on a baking sheet and bake on the center rack until toasted, 10 to 12 minutes. Cool completely. Reserve 15 pecans, then roughly chop the rest.
• Line the pie shell with parchment or foil and fill with dried beans or pie weights. Place the pie shell on a baking sheet and bake on the center rack until the dough is dry and set around the edges, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and remove the parchment and beans. Continue baking until the pie shell is light golden brown all over, 10 to 15 minutes more. Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F.
• While the crust is baking, combine the brown sugar, maple syrup, butter, bourbon, if using, and salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat and, stirring constantly, continue to boil for 1 minute. Remove from the heat and stir in the chopped pecans and vanilla. Set aside to cool slightly, about 5 minutes. (If the crust has cooled at this point, return it to the oven for 5 minutes to warm through.) Whisk the eggs into the filling until smooth, then pour the filling into the warm crust. Top with the reserved pecans.
• Bake on the lower rack until the filling is set around the edges but still slightly loose in the center, 40 to 45 minutes. (If the edges of the crust begin to get very dark, cover them loosely with foil.) Cool on a wire rack completely before serving.

Steps:

• Make the crust: Pulse the flour, granulated sugar and salt in a food processor until combined. Add the butter and pulse about 10 times until it looks like cornmeal with pea-size bits of butter. Add the egg and pulse 1 or 2 more times. If the dough is very dry, add the water. Pulse 8 to 10 times until the dough starts to clump together and there is no visible flour. Turn out the dough onto a piece of plastic wrap and form into a disk; wrap tightly. Refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour or overnight.
• Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface into a 12-inch round. Ease into a 9-inch pie plate. Trim the edges, leaving a 1-inch overhang, then tuck the overhanging dough under itself; crimp the edges with a fork. Freeze until firm, about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, position racks in the middle and lower thirds of the oven; preheat to 375˚. Spread the pecans on a baking sheet and bake on the middle rack until toasted, 10 to 12 minutes. Let the nuts cool slightly, then roughly chop.
• Line the chilled pie crust with parchment paper or foil and fill with dried beans or pie weights. Place the pie crust on a baking sheet and bake on the middle rack until the dough is dry and set around the edges, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove the parchment and beans and continue baking until the crust is light golden brown all over, 10 to 15 more minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the filling: Combine the butter, brown sugar, corn syrup, bourbon and salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring; boil 1 minute. Remove from the heat and stir in the chopped pecans and vanilla bean paste. Let cool slightly, about 5 minutes. Whisk the eggs into the filling until smooth, then pour the filling into the hot crust. (If the crust has cooled, return it to the oven for 5 minutes to warm through before filling.)
• Reduce the oven temperature to 350˚. Bake the pie (on the baking sheet) on the lower oven rack until the edges are set but the center is still slightly loose, 40 to 45 minutes. (If the crust is getting too dark, cover loosely with foil.) Transfer the pie to a rack to cool completely.

Steps:

• Filling------------.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• To Make Crust: In a medium bowl, combine flour, salt and white sugar. Cut butter into flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually sprinkle the water over the dry mixture, stirring until dough comes together enough to form a ball.
• On a floured surface flatten dough ball with rolling pin. Roll out into a circle that is one inch larger than pie dish. Place pie shell into dish and refrigerate until pie filling is complete.
• To Make Pie Filling: In a medium bowl, mix together eggs, light and dark corn syrups, brown sugar, butter, salt and finely crushed pecans. Spread quartered pecans over bottom of refrigerated pie crust. Pour syrup mixture over top of pecans, then arrange pecan halves on top of pie.
• Bake in a preheated 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) oven for one hour or until firm; let cool for one hour before serving.

Steps:

• Unroll pie crust onto waxed paper on the counter; sprinkle lightly with flour and smooth out with your hand. Place another piece of waxed paper on the top of the crust; carefully flip over and sprinkle other side with flour and smooth it out. Fit crust in pie plate and crimp edges as desired. Set aside. Melt butter then set aside to cool slightly. Preheat oven to 340 degrees F. In a mixing bowl, lightly whisk the eggs; whisk in the corn syrup and maple syrup or vanilla. Whisk in the sugar, melted butter, and salt. Gently fold in the cereal. Pour into pie crust. Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until center is set when pie pan is lightly shaken. (After the first 30 minutes of bake time, cover the edges of crust with strips of aluminum foil if over-browning). Cool completely on a wire cooling rack. Serve with whipped cream or whipped topping. Cover and refrigerate leftovers, just let set out for 10 minutes before serving time.

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, lightly beat the eggs.
• Add all ingredients and mix well.
• Pour into unbaked pie crust.

• Lay a square of foil on top of the pie if it starts to get too brown.
• Let cool before serving.

Steps:

• For the crust: Whisk together the flour, granulated sugar and salt in a medium bowl. Using your fingers, work the butter into the dry ingredients until it resembles yellow cornmeal mixed with bean-size bits of butter. (If the flour/butter mixture gets warm, refrigerate it for 10 minutes before proceeding.) Add the egg and stir the dough together with a fork or by hand in the bowl. If the dough is dry, sprinkle up to a tablespoon more of cold water over the mixture.
• Alternatively, pulse the flour, sugar, and salt in a food processor fitted with the metal blade until combined. Add the butter and pulse until it resembles yellow cornmeal mixed with bean-size bits of butter, about 10 times. Add the egg and pulse 1 to 2 times; don't let the dough form into a ball in the machine. (If the dough is very dry add up to a tablespoon more of cold water.) Remove the bowl from the machine, remove the blade and bring the dough together by hand.
• Form the dough into a disk, wrap with plastic wrap and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, at least 1 hour.
• Roll the dough on a lightly-floured surface into a 12-inch circle about 1/8-inch thick. Transfer the dough to a 9-inch pie pan and trim the edges, leaving about an extra inch hanging over the edge. Tuck the overhanging dough underneath itself to form a thick
• edge that is even with the rim. Flute the edge as desired. Freeze the pie shell for 30 minutes.
• Arrange the racks in the center and lower third of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F. Put a piece of parchment paper or foil over the pie shell and fill with dried beans or pie weights. Bake on a baking sheet on the center rack until the dough is set, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and lift the sides of the parchment to remove the beans. Continue baking until the pie shell is lightly golden brown, about 10 more minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F.
• While the crust is baking make the filling: Combine the butter, brown sugar, corn syrup, and salt in medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat and, stirring constantly, continue to boil for 1 minute. Remove from the heat and stir in the nuts, bourbon and vanilla. Set it aside to cool slightly, about 5 minutes. (If the crust has cooled, return it to the oven for 5 minutes to warm through.) Whisk the beaten eggs into the filling until smooth. Put the pie shell on a baking sheet and pour the filling into the hot crust.
• Bake on the lower rack until the edges are set but the center is still slightly loose, 40 to 45 minutes. (If the edges get very dark, cover them with aluminum foil half way during baking.) Cool on a wire rack. Serve slightly warm or at room temperature.
