Pecan Pie Without Corn Syrup Recipes

PECAN PIE WITHOUT CORN SYRUP

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.

PECAN PIE--NO CORN SYRUP

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F.
• Melt butter in micro-safe bowl.
• Blend in both sugars.
• Add eggs and beat in until foamy.
• Add milk and blend in well.
• Add vanilla (and alcohol if using).
• Add flour and blend completely.
• Beat together for about 1-2 minutes until sugar no longer grainy. (Test by pinching a little of the batter and rubbing between finger and thumb. If still grainy add another 1-2 tsp milk beating until sugars are dissolved).
• Stir in pecans until well coated. If energetic arrange pecans in nice pattern on top after pouring into pie crust.
• Pour into pie crust.
• Bake for 30-45 minutes depending on your oven. (I always cover crusts with crust protector or foil to avoid burning).
• Pie will be done when nuts appear browned and filling is rising. It will sink as filling cools.
• Enjoy alone or with cream or ice cream or :-).

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Combine pecans, brown sugar, maple syrup, melted butter, half-and-half, flour, eggs, and vanilla in a bowl; mix with a fork until combined. Pour into pie crust. Cover crust with a foil ring.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove the foil ring and bake until edges are set but a small spot in the center jiggles when the pan is gently shaken, 10 to 15 more minutes.
• Remove from the oven and let cool before serving.
