PECAN PIE WITHOUT CORN SYRUP



Pecan Pie Without Corn Syrup image

This pecan pie tastes like the classic Thanksgiving staple, but it's made minus the corn syrup. Thanks to equal parts brown sugar and maple syrup, the filling still tastes wonderfully sweet. Enjoy a slice on its own or topped with a scoop of your favorite ice cream.

Time 4h45m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting (see Cook's Note)
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
Pinch kosher salt
1 stick (8 tablespoons) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1 large egg, lightly beaten
2 cups pecans
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
3/4 cup maple syrup
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon bourbon, optional
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 large eggs

Steps:

  • For the crust: Pulse the flour, granulated sugar and salt in a food processor until combined, about 8 times. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture resembles cornmeal with pea-size bits of butter, about 10 times. Add the egg and pulse 1 to 2 times more. If the dough is very dry, add up to 1 tablespoon of cold water. Pulse again until the dough starts to clump together and there is no visible flour, 8 to 10 pulses. Transfer the dough to a piece of plastic wrap, form into a disk and wrap it with the plastic. Refrigerate until chilled, at least 1 hour and up to overnight.
  • Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface into a 12-inch circle, about 1/8 inch thick. Transfer the dough to a 9-inch pie pan and trim the edges, leaving about a 1-inch overhang. Tuck the excess dough underneath itself to form a thick edge that is flush with the rim. Crimp the edge as desired. Freeze the pie shell until firm, about 30 minutes.
  • For the filling: Meanwhile, arrange oven racks in the center and lower third of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F.
  • Spread the pecans on a baking sheet and bake on the center rack until toasted, 10 to 12 minutes. Cool completely. Reserve 15 pecans, then roughly chop the rest.
  • Line the pie shell with parchment or foil and fill with dried beans or pie weights. Place the pie shell on a baking sheet and bake on the center rack until the dough is dry and set around the edges, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and remove the parchment and beans. Continue baking until the pie shell is light golden brown all over, 10 to 15 minutes more. Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F.
  • While the crust is baking, combine the brown sugar, maple syrup, butter, bourbon, if using, and salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat and, stirring constantly, continue to boil for 1 minute. Remove from the heat and stir in the chopped pecans and vanilla. Set aside to cool slightly, about 5 minutes. (If the crust has cooled at this point, return it to the oven for 5 minutes to warm through.) Whisk the eggs into the filling until smooth, then pour the filling into the warm crust. Top with the reserved pecans.
  • Bake on the lower rack until the filling is set around the edges but still slightly loose in the center, 40 to 45 minutes. (If the edges of the crust begin to get very dark, cover them loosely with foil.) Cool on a wire rack completely before serving.

PECAN PIE--NO CORN SYRUP



Pecan Pie--No Corn Syrup image

Have long looked for a pecan pie recipe that doesn't contain corn syrup. Have tried several, and this rises to the top. It was submitted to AllRecipes by Elaine Helms. Not as cloyingly sweet as most pecan pies, and readily adaptable for personal preferences and modifications. I have listed her ingredients, then my substitutions for a lighter (lol) version that doesn't seem to sacrifice anything! Hope that you enjoy. If you start at the top of the ingredients (after crust) then you can blend them all in one bowl. I use a whisk, but you can use mixer just as well. With modifications this recipe will work well for a variety of specialty diets- diabetic, low carb, gluten free (use rice flour), omit crust altogether, vegetarian. Change flavors, nuts, add chocolate, coconut. Simply have fun!

Time 45m

Yield 1 pie, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (8 -9 inch) pie crusts
1/2 cup butter (smart balance)
1 cup brown sugar (Whey Low)
1/4 cup white sugar (whey low)
2 large eggs (1/2C egg substitute)
1 tablespoon milk or 1 tablespoon cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (2 tsp)
1 tablespoon flour
1 cup pecans
2 tablespoons Bourbon (optional) or 2 tablespoons bailey's irish cream (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F.
  • Melt butter in micro-safe bowl.
  • Blend in both sugars.
  • Add eggs and beat in until foamy.
  • Add milk and blend in well.
  • Add vanilla (and alcohol if using).
  • Add flour and blend completely.
  • Beat together for about 1-2 minutes until sugar no longer grainy. (Test by pinching a little of the batter and rubbing between finger and thumb. If still grainy add another 1-2 tsp milk beating until sugars are dissolved).
  • Stir in pecans until well coated. If energetic arrange pecans in nice pattern on top after pouring into pie crust.
  • Pour into pie crust.
  • Bake for 30-45 minutes depending on your oven. (I always cover crusts with crust protector or foil to avoid burning).
  • Pie will be done when nuts appear browned and filling is rising. It will sink as filling cools.
  • Enjoy alone or with cream or ice cream or :-).

Tips:

  • Use room temperature ingredients. This will help ensure that your pie crust and filling come together smoothly.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the crust tough.
  • Chill the dough before rolling it out. This will help prevent the dough from sticking to your hands and work surface.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the butter into the flour. This will help create a flaky crust.
  • Don't crowd the pie pan. Leave about 1 inch of space between the edge of the dough and the edge of the pan.
  • Bake the pie in a preheated oven. This will help ensure that the crust is cooked through.
  • Let the pie cool completely before slicing and serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the filling to set.
  • Serve the pie with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream.

Conclusion:

This pecan pie recipe is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The pie has a flaky crust, a creamy filling, and a crunchy topping. It is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So what are you waiting for? Give this pecan pie recipe a try today!
