Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (177 degrees C).
- Make the almond flour pie crust according to the instructions here.
- Meanwhile, make the filling. In a large saute pan (not a saucepan!) over medium-low heat, heat the butter and Besti for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until dark golden brown.
- When golden, add the cream and sea salt. Bring to a gentle simmer. Simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, until bubbly, dark golden and thick. The caramel sauce should coat the back of a spoon.
- Remove the sauce from heat. Stir in the vanilla and maple extracts.
- Let pie crust and caramel sauce cool separately for 15 to 20 minutes, until warm but not hot. While they are cooling, you can either leave the oven on (you will need it again) or preheat it to 350 degrees F (177 degrees C) again when the cooling time is almost up.
- Once caramel sauce has cooled enough not to cook an egg being added to it (warm is fine), whisk in the egg.
- Place chopped pecans evenly into the crust. Pour the caramel/egg mixture over the pecans. Top with pecan halves.
- Cover the edges of the pie crust with foil, leaving the center open.
- Bake for about 30 to 35 minutes, until the top is dark brown and the filling is bubbly, thick, and almost set (it should no longer jiggle but will still look a little wet).
- Cool completely to set. For best results, chill for at least 1 hour before slicing.

Steps:
- 1. Pre heat oven to 350 degrees. Mix eggs and Splenda. Stir in breakfast syrup. Add in melted butter. Mix well. Add in pecans, and mix well.
- 2. Place pie crust in a 9" pie pan. Fill crust with the pecan mixture. Cover with foil.
- 3. Bake covered for 25 minutes. After 25 minutes have passed, uncover the pie so the crust browns. Bake an additional 25 minutes, or until a knife comes out clean. Allow pie to set about 1-1 1/2 hours for pie to set. Cut into 8 pieces. If dieting, you may cut pie into 16th's, and divide the nutrition facts above by 2.
Tips:
- Use a food processor to chop the pecans. This will help to get them evenly chopped and will save you time.
- If you don't have a food processor, you can chop the pecans by hand. Just be sure to chop them finely so that they blend well with the other ingredients.
- Be sure to measure the ingredients accurately. This will help to ensure that your pie turns out perfectly.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the pie tough.
- Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set. This will usually take about 45 minutes.
- Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will help the filling to set and will make the pie easier to slice.
Conclusion:
This sugar-free, low-carb pecan pie is a delicious and healthy dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. So next time you are looking for a sweet treat, give this pie a try. You won't be disappointed!
