Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup shortening, chilled and diced
3 tablespoons ice water
2 teaspoons butter
1 ½ cups chopped pecans
3 eggs, beaten
1 cup real maple syrup
½ cup white sugar
⅓ cup butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, mix together flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Using a pastry blender or two knives, cut half of the shortening into flour mixture, until fine crumbs form. Cut in remaining shortening until coarse crumbs form. Add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, tossing with fork until a dough forms. Shape dough into a disk and wrap in plastic wrap; chill for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • On a floured surface, using a floured rolling pin, roll dough into an 11-inch circle. Fit dough into a 9-in quiche dish. Trim edges
  • In a heavy skillet, melt 2 tablespoons butter over low heat. Add nuts and stir for about 5 minutes, or until nuts begin to color. Let cool for 10 minutes.
  • Mix together beaten egg, maple syrup, sugar, 1/3 cup melted butter, vanilla, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Stir in nuts. Pour filling into crust. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until filling is set. Transfer pan to wire rack and cool.

The filling was a little too sweet for my taste, but otherwise this pie was delicious.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my pie crust turned out soggy. I'm not sure what I did wrong.
