Time 1h5m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 round refrigerated pie dough (half a 14-ounce package)
4 large eggs

1/4 cup honey
3 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
1 tablespoon honey whiskey
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

2 cups chopped raw pecans
3 tablespoons packed dark brown sugar
3 tablespoons honey
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 3/4 cup whole raw pecans

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • For the pie: Place the pie dough in a 9-inch pie dish and press it against the dish to remove any air pockets. Crimp the edges, as desired, and set aside.

HONEY PECAN PIE



Honey Pecan Pie image

I had never had this until recently. I had always made my pecan pies with Karo Syrup; however, this is a different recipe I found using honey instead of Karo and it gives this pie a decidedly different taste than the one I'm used to making.

Provided by Sherrybeth

Categories     Pie

Time 1h15m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (9 inch) pie crusts, unbaked
1 cup honey
1/2 cup sugar
3 large eggs
1/4 cup butter, melted and cooled
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups pecan halves

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, combine the honey, sugar and eggs. Beat well.
  • Add the vanilla extract and melted butter and mix well.
  • Slowly, by hand, stir in the pecans.
  • Pour into the unbaked pie shell and bake at 350 degrees for 50-55 minutes.
  • Filling will be firmer around the edges, but softer in the middle.
  • If your crust starts to get too brown, cover the edges with foil to prevent them from burning (or use one of those cute pie crust ring things if you have one, because they work really well).
  • Allow to cool completely before slicing.

HONEY CRUNCH PECAN PIE



Honey Crunch Pecan Pie image

This recipe is an adoptee from the RecipeZaar account. I changed the recipe slightly because the crust ingredients were entered incorrectly by the original owner of this recipe (unless the crust was really made of 1/3 cup flour and 1/2 cup crisco, which I highly doubt). Anyway, this is a very good pecan pie; I think the honey added to the topping is really nice. I hope you enjoy it!
