Honey-Pecan Pumpkin Pie image

Categories     Dessert     Bake     Thanksgiving     Pecan     Pumpkin     Fall     Honey     Bon Appétit

Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 21

For pecans
6 tablespoons sugar
3 tablespoons honey
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
Pinch of salt
1 cup pecan halves (about 4 ounces)
1 Easy Pastry Dough disk
For filling
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon ground allspice

1 15-ounce can solid pack pumpkin
1/3 cup honey
1 cup whipping cream
4 large eggs
For topping
1 cup chilled whipping cream
2 tablespoons honey

Steps:

  • Make pecans:
  • Place large piece of foil on work surface. Stir sugar, honey, butter and salt in heavy medium skillet over medium-low heat until sugar dissolves, butter melts and syrup comes to simmer. Add pecans. Cook until syrup turns deep caramel color and bubbles thickly, stirring nuts occasionally to coat, about 9 minutes. Scrape onto foil. Working quickly, separate nuts with spoon. Cool completely. Place in airtight container. (Can be made 3 days ahead. Store at room temperature.)
  • Make pie:
  • Position rack in lowest third of oven and preheat to 350°F. Roll out dough disk on floured surface to 12- to 13-inch round. Transfer to 9-inch-diameter glass pie dish. Fold overhang under; crimp edge, forming high-standing rim.

  • Bake pie until filling is slightly puffed and begins to crack at edges, covering crust with foil if browning too quickly, about 1 hour. Cool on rack. (Can be made 8 hours ahead. Store at room temperature.)
  • Make topping:
  • Using electric mixer, beat cream and honey in medium bowl until stiff peaks form. Spoon into pastry bag fitted with star tip. Pipe rosettes of cream atop pie. Garnish with candied nuts. Serve, passing extra nuts separately.

MAPLE-HONEY PECAN PIE



Maple-Honey Pecan Pie image

Substituting a combination of maple syrup and honey for the usual corn syrup in pecan pie makes for a complex and richly flavored confection that's still wonderfully gooey in the center. This recipe also has double the amount of pecans compared with most recipes, giving it plenty of crunch. You can bake it the day before serving; it keeps very well at room temperature for at least 24 hours. It also freezes reasonably well for up to 3 months, though the crust won't be quite as flaky.

Categories     pies and tarts, dessert

Time 1h30m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

All-purpose flour, for rolling out the dough
Dough for a 9-inch single crust pie
1/2 cup/115 grams unsalted butter
1/4 cup/85 grams maple syrup
1/4 cup/85 grams honey
1/2 cup/110 grams light brown sugar
1/2 cup/75 grams maple sugar or use more light brown sugar
3 large eggs, at room temperature
1 tablespoon bourbon (optional)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/2 cups/180 grams pecan halves
Flaky sea salt, such as Maldon (optional)

Steps:

  • On a lightly floured surface, roll dough into a 12-inch circle, and transfer to a 9-inch metal pie plate. Fold over any excess dough, crimping the edges. Transfer crust to the freezer for 30 minutes or up to 24 hours.
  • When ready to bake, place a rimmed baking sheet on the middle oven rack and heat oven to 425 degrees.
  • Heat a small saucepan and melt the butter over medium heat. Cook, swirling occasionally, until the foam subsides, the milk solids turn golden brown and the butter smells nutty and toasty, about 5 minutes. Add maple syrup to the pan and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens and reduces slightly, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat, and whisk honey into the warm syrup mixture. Let cool at least 10 minutes.
  • While the syrup mixture cools, combine sugars, eggs, bourbon (if using), vanilla and salt in a large mixing bowl. Gradually pour syrup mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly, then use a rubber spatula to scrape in all the brown bits at the bottom of the pot.
  • Remove pie crust from freezer and place pecans along the bottom of the crust. Carefully pour the filling over the pecans. Place pie plate on the hot sheet pan and bake for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees and continue to bake for another 35 to 45 minutes, until the center of the pie has puffed up and turned golden brown.
  • Transfer pie to a wire cooling rack, sprinkle with flaky sea salt, if you like, and allow to cool for at least 2 hours before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 all-butter pie shell, parbaked in a 9-inch pie plate and cooled
5 tablespoons (2.5 oz / 71g) unsalted butter
¹⁄3 cup (4 oz / 113g) honey
¾ cup (6 oz / 170g) heavy cream, at room temperature
4 large eggs (7 oz / 200g), at room temperature
¼ cup (1.8 oz / 50g) packed dark brown sugar
1 (15 oz / 425g) can unsweetened pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling), preferably Libby's
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1½ teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon (0.11 oz / 3g) Diamond Crystal kosher salt
½ teaspoon ground allspice
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg (preferably freshly grated), plus more for serving
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
Softly whipped cream, for serving
Special Equipment: A 9-inch pie plate, pie weights or 4 cups dried beans or rice (for parbaking)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven:
  • Arrange an oven rack in the center position and preheat the oven to 325°F. Place the parbaked pie crust on a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet and set aside.
  • Brown the butter:
  • In a small saucepan, cook the butter over medium-low heat, stirring and scraping the bottom and sides constantly with a heatproof spatula. The mixture will sputter as the water boils off. Continue to cook, stirring and scraping, until the sputtering subsides, the butter is foaming, and the solid bits turn a dark brown, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Caramelize the honey:
  • Remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately add the honey (to prevent the butter from burning), stirring to combine. Return the saucepan to medium heat and bring to a boil. Continue to cook, swirling often, until the mixture is darkened slightly and has a savory, nutty smell, about 2 minutes. Remove the saucepan from the heat and slowly stream in the heavy cream, stirring constantly (be careful-the mixture may sputter) until it's smooth. Set the warm honey mixture aside.
  • Make the pumpkin filling:
  • In a large bowl, whisk the eggs to break up the whites and yolks, then add the brown sugar and whisk vigorously until the mixture has lightened in color by a shade or two, about 1 minute. Whisk in the pumpkin, cinnamon, ginger, vanilla, salt, allspice, nutmeg, and cloves until smooth. Slowly stream in the warm honey mixture, whisking constantly, until the filling is completely homogenous.
  • Fill the crust and bake:
  • Pour the filling into the parbaked crust all the way to the top. (Depending on the height of your crust, you may have some leftover filling, which I recommend you keep! Ever so carefully transfer the pie to the center rack and bake until the filling is set and puffed around the edges and the center wobbles gently, 45 to 60 minutes.
  • Cool the pie gently:
  • Turn off the oven and prop the door open with a wooden spoon. Let the pie cool completely in the oven. Doing so will allow it to cool gradually, which will prevent cracking on the surface.
  • Serve:
  • Slice the pie into wedges and top each piece with softly whipped cream. Grate a bit of fresh nutmeg over the cream and serve.
  • Do Ahead: The pie, covered and refrigerated, will keep up to 3 days but is best served on the first or second day (the crust will soften over time).
  • Cooks' Notes
  • Use a good-quality, dark-hued honey. The more strongly flavored the better, so it stands out against the pumpkin. Just don't use buckwheat or chestnut honey, which are too intense.
  • Bake any remaining pumpkin filling separately in a small ramekin. I like to do this to prevent ingredient waste, and also because it allows me to sample the filling prior to cutting into the pie!

Tips:

  • Use fresh pumpkin purée for the best flavor. You can make your own purée by roasting a pumpkin and then scooping out the flesh, or you can buy canned pumpkin purée.
  • Be sure to toast the pecans before adding them to the pie. This will bring out their flavor and make them more crunchy.
  • Don't overmix the pie filling. Overmixing can make the pie tough.
  • Bake the pie until the center is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the pie to set properly.

Conclusion:

This honey pecan pumpkin pie is a delicious and festive dessert that is perfect for Thanksgiving or any other fall gathering. With its creamy pumpkin filling, crunchy pecans, and sweet honey glaze, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
