Time 1h10m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/3 cup butter, chilled
2 tablespoons shortening, chilled
1 cup flour
1 tablespoon powdered sugar (optional)
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons ice water
1 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup white sugar
1/2 teaspoon fine grain sea salt
1/2 cup butter, melted
1/4 cup boiling water
4 eggs, beaten well
1 tablespoon milk
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract or 1 1/2 teaspoons Bourbon
2 cups raw pecans, coarsely chopped
1/4 cup caramel topping, plus about 1/4 c. more for drizzling on top

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Using a mixer on low, work the flour and powdered sugar into the cold butter and shortening until you have a relatively uniform, crumbly mixture.
  • Make a "well" in the middle of the mixture and pour the vinegar plus 1 tablespoon ice water into it.
  • Use your hands to delicately incorporate the liquid, starting from the center of the well and working outward.
  • Add to the mixture the remainding 1 tablespoon ice water, adding more if necessary, until you have a dough that holds together in a ball, but does not stick to your hands.
  • Roll the dough out on a floured surface. Place the crust into a greased 9" pie dish and prick the bottom several times with a fork.
  • For the Filling: Mix the brown sugar, white sugar, salt and melted butter in a large bowl.
  • Add the boiling water and stir until sugar and salt dissolve.
  • Add the beaten eggs and milk and mix well. If you want a very boozy-tasting pie, add 1 1/2 teaspoon bourbon. Otherwise, add 1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  • Mix in the pecans.
  • Spread 1/4 cup caramel on bottom of prepared crust. Heat up the caramel first if it helps to spread it.
  • Pour the filling into the crust and bake at 400 degrees F for 10 minutes and then reduce the heat to 350.
  • Bake about 30 minutes more, or until the pie puffs up, and a knife inserted into the center comes out relatively clean.
  • Cool the pie for at least two hours. Before serving, drizzle about 1/4 cup more caramel on top. It helps to heat up the caramel for this step as well.

SALTED CARAMEL PECAN PIE



Salted Caramel Pecan Pie image

There is no better duo than caramel and salt. Add those flavors to this year's pecan pie and you've got a dessert that's sure to be a hit!

Categories     dessert     pie

Time 1h45m

Yield 10-12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 c. sugar
3/4 c. cream
2 tsp. pure vanilla extract
1 tsp. kosher salt
1 (9-inch) unbaked pie shell, chilled
3 c. (about 12 oz.) Fisher Pecan Halves
3 large eggs
Flaky sea salt, for garnish

Steps:

  • Make the salted caramel: Combine the sugar and 1/2 cup water in a large saucepan. Set over high heat and stir gently until the sugar dissolves. Stop stirring when the mixture begins to boil. Brush away any sugar crystals that form on the sides of the pan with a wet pastry brush. Cook until the mixture is the color of maple syrup, about 20 minutes. Off heat, slowly whisk in the cream, vanilla, and kosher salt. The mixture will bubble vigorously; be careful: It is extremely hot. Pour into a large heatproof bowl and set aside until cool.
  • Preheat the oven to 375° with a rack in the center of the oven. Fill the pie shell with the pecans and set on a rimmed baking sheet. Whisk the eggs into the caramel mixture and pour over the pecans.
  • Bake until the filling has puffed and the crust is golden brown, about 1 hour and 15 minutes, tenting the edges of the pie with foil if they darken too quickly. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
