Time 3h55m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup cold shortening
6 tablespoons ice water, or as needed
½ cup unsalted butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
½ cup white sugar
½ cup packed brown sugar
¼ cup water
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 pinch ground nutmeg
⅓ cup butter
½ cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 cup chopped pecans
8 Granny Smith apples - peeled, cored and thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Whisk 2 1/2 cups flour and salt together in a bowl. Cut in shortening with 2 knives or pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, tossing with a fork, until flour mixture is moistened and dough comes together. Do not add more water than you need. Divide the dough in half and shape into 2 balls. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate, at least 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a 9-inch pie pan with wax paper.
  • Melt 1/2 cup unsalted butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in 3 tablespoons flour to form a paste. Stir in 1/4 cup white sugar, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup water, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until filling mixture is thickened slightly, about 3 minutes.
  • Melt 1/3 cup butter in a separate saucepan over low heat. Add 1/2 cup brown sugar and whisk until smooth, about 2 minutes. Stir in pecans.
  • Spread pecan mixture evenly onto lined pie pan. Roll out one ball of dough; line pie pan over pecan mixture. Toss apples with filling mixture; pour into pie plate. Roll out second ball of dough and place over apple filling. Crimp edges of bottom and top crusts together. Cut several small slits into top crust to vent. Place pie on foil-lined baking sheet.

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup shortening
6 tablespoons ice cold water
2/3 cup crushed cinnamon graham crackers
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
3 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/3 cup butter
6 to 8 apples, peeled and sliced, about 5 cups

1/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup Caramel Butterscotch Ice Cream Topping
1/3 cup pecans, processed very fine

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Crust:
  • Mix flour and salt. Cut in shortening until mixture resembles course ground cornmeal. Add water 1 tablespoon at a time. Roll out 2/3 of dough for bottom crust and place into pie pan. Roll out last 1/3 of dough and cut into strips for lattice top crust. On parchment paper or cookie sheet, weave the strips to form lattice. Set aside.

Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 24

Crust
1 1/3 cups sifted all purpose flour
3 tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
7 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 tablespoons ice water
1 large egg yolk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Filling
2 tablespoons brandy
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon unflavored gelatin
5 ounces bittersweet (not unsweetened) or semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
1/2 cup sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon cornstarch
2 cups half and half
4 large egg yolks
Topping
2/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup water
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon whipping cream
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
1 cup toasted pecans, chopped

Steps:

  • For crust:
  • Combine flour, sugar and salt in processor. Add butter and blend using on/off turns until mixture resembles coarse meal. Beat water, egg yolk and vanilla together in small bowl. Add egg mixture to processor and process until large moist clumps form. Gather dough into ball; flatten into disk. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate 30 minutes. (Dough can be prepared up to 2 days ahead. Let dough stand at room temperature to soften slightly before continuing.)
  • Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 350°F. Lightly butter 9-inch-diameter pie pan. Roll dough out on floured surface to 13-inch round. Transfer to prepared pan. Fold edges under and crimp to form high fluted edge. Freeze until firm, about 15 minutes. Line crust with foil and fill with dried beans or pie weights. Bake until sides are set, about 20 minutes. Remove foil and beans. Pierce bottom of crust until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Cool on rack.
  • For filling:
  • Combine brandy and vanilla in small bowl. Sprinkle gelatin over and let stand 10 minutes. Place chocolate in medium bowl. Mix sugar, cornstarch and salt in heavy medium saucepan. Gradually whisk half and half and egg yolks into sugar mixture. Cook over medium-high heat until custard is thick and smooth and begins to boil, whisking constantly, about 3 minutes. Quickly add 1 1/4 cups custard to chocolate. Stir until chocolate melts and mixture is smooth. Add brandy and gelatin mixture to remaining hot custard. Stir until gelatin dissolves. Spread chocolate filling in crust. Spread brandy filling over. Refrigerate uncovered until pie is completely cool.
  • For topping:
  • Heat sugar and water in heavy small saucepan over low heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Increase heat and boil, without stirring, until mixture is deep amber, brushing down sugar crystals from sides of pan with wet pastry brush, about 11 minutes. Remove from heat and add cream (mixture will bubble up). Add butter and stir until smooth. Stir over low heat until color deepens and caramel thickens slightly, about 3 minutes. Mix in pecans. Transfer to small bowl. Refrigerate until cool but not set, stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes.
  • Spoon topping over brandy layer. Chill pie until topping is set, about 2 hours. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)

Tips:

  • For the perfect crust, use a combination of butter and shortening. This will create a flaky and tender crust.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the crust tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will make it easier to work with and will prevent it from shrinking in the oven.
  • Use a deep dish pie plate to prevent the filling from bubbling over.
  • Bake the pie in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the crust cooks evenly.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will allow the filling to set and will make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

This caramel pecan pie is a delicious and decadent treat that is perfect for any occasion. With its buttery crust, gooey caramel filling, and crunchy pecans, this pie is sure to be a hit. Follow these tips to make the perfect caramel pecan pie every time!
