Yield Makes 1 nine-inch pie

Number Of Ingredients 12

Pate Brisee for Maple Bourbon Pecan Pie
All-purpose flour, for dusting work surface
1 cup sugar
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
4 large whole eggs, plus 2 large egg yolks
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons dark corn syrup
1/2 cup pure maple syrup
2 tablespoons bourbon or dark rum
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups (5 1/4 ounces) pecan halves
2 tablespoons heavy cream
Whipped cream (optional)

Steps:

  • On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to 1/8 inch thick. Transfer to a 9-inch pie tin, leaving a 1/2-inch overhang. Fold overhang under evenly. Using a paring knife, carefully cut out leaves from scraps of dough. Gently score leaves with the back of the knife to create veins. Place leaves on a baking sheet. Transfer lined pie tin and leaves to refrigerator. Chill for at least 30 minutes
  • Heat oven to 400 degrees. In a medium bowl, whisk together sugar, butter, 4 whole eggs, corn syrup, maple syrup, bourbon, and vanilla. Fold in half the pecan halves. Pour filling into pie shell; arrange remaining pecan halves on top of pie.
  • Score the outer rim of pie. Beat 1 egg yolk, and brush over hatch marks. Adhere the leaves to the dough in a decorative pattern. Chill the pie for 30 minutes. Mix 2 tablespoons heavy cream with remaining egg yolk. Brush the egg glaze over the leaves, and transfer pie to the oven.
  • Bake 15 minutes, then reduce heat to 350 degrees. Bake until a knife tip comes out clean, about 1 hour 15 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Yield Makes one double-crust or two single-crust 9-to 10-inch pies

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1 cup (2 sticks) cold butter, cut into small pieces

Steps:

  • Combine the flour, salt, and sugar in the bowl of a food processor. Add 1 cup cold butter, and process until mixture resembles coarse meal, about 10 seconds.
  • Add 1/4 cup ice water in a slow, steady stream through the feed tube of the food processor, with machine running, until dough holds together, no more than 30 seconds. Turn dough out onto a piece of plastic wrap, divide in half, and press into two flattened disks. Wrap in plastic, and refrigerate at least 1 hour.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your pie. Look for fresh pecans, pure maple syrup, and good-quality bourbon.
  • Don't overmix the filling. Overmixing can make the filling tough. Stir just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the pie until the filling is set. The filling should be firm but still have a slight jiggle to it.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will allow the filling to set and the flavors to develop.

Conclusion:

This maple-bourbon pecan pie is a delicious and decadent dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its rich, buttery filling and crunchy pecan topping, this pie is sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give this maple-bourbon pecan pie a try.
