Yield Makes one 10-inch pie

Number Of Ingredients 8

12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter
1/2 cup honey
1 cup packed light-brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
4 cups pecan halves (about 1 pound)
3/4 cup heavy cream
All-purpose flour, for dusting
1/2 recipe Pate Brisee for Upside-Down Pecan Pie

Steps:

  • In a 10-inch cast-iron skillet over medium heat, combine butter, honey, and sugars. Bring to a boil; let boil for 4 minutes. Add pecans and heavy cream, and boil 3 minutes more. Remove from heat, and set aside. Let stand about 30 minutes to cool. Using a wooden spoon, gently mound pecans and caramel slightly in center of skillet, leaving a gap between pecans and edge of skillet.
  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.with rack in the top third. On a clean, lightly floured work surface, roll out one disk of prepared chilled pastry to approximately a 7/8-inch-thick, 13-inch-diameter circle. Place the pastry over the skillet, carefully tucking the dough down against the edge of the skillet and around the edges of the mound of pecans. Trim the excess dough.
  • Place two rimmed baking sheets, one on top of the other, underneath the skillet to catch any drips while the pie bakes and to provide insulation for the caramel. Place skillet in the oven, and bake pie until the dough is just turning golden brown, about 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees, and continue baking until the pastry is cooked through and the caramel is bubbling up around the edges of the skillet, about 30 minutes more.
  • Remove the pie from the oven, and let cool about 20 minutes. Carefully invert the pie onto a parchment-lined tray or baking sheet (the pie is easy to transfer to serving plate once it has been inverted). Be careful inverting pie; the caramel is very hot. If the pie does not release easily from skillet, heat the skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds. Serve warm.

This was in Southern Living, got the recipe at a family gathering because it was so good. I just had to share!

Provided by Ami Baggett

Categories     Pies

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 unbaked pie crust
4 large eggs
1 stick butter (1/2 cup), melted and brought to room temp
1 1/2 c brown sugar
1/2 c sugar
2 Tbsp flour
2 Tbsp milk
1 1/2 Tbsp bourbon (can substitute vanilla)
1 1/2 c chopped pecans
pecan halves to decorate top

Steps:

  • 1. Beat the eggs until foamy, add the melted butter. Stir in sugars & flour. Mix well. Add milk, vanilla, and chopped pecans.
  • 2. Dust your pan with powdered sugar, then place the crust in the pan. Shape the edges and dust the bottom with a tablespoon of powdered sugar, this will help absorb any extra grease from the pie. Pour the filling into the crust and top with pecan halves. Cover the crust with foil to prevent burning.
  • 3. Bake at 325 degrees for 30 minutes, then turn the heat down to 300 degrees and bake for another 30 minutes. Turn off the oven and allow the pie to cool several hours or overnight before removing. It is easiest to cut at room temperature.
  • 4. may use standard pie pan instead of cast iron skillet, but skillet works fine. :)

Tips:

  • Use a heavy-bottomed skillet: This will help prevent the pie crust from burning.
  • Use a variety of nuts: In addition to pecans, you can also use walnuts, almonds, or hazelnuts.
  • Don't overcook the filling: The filling should be set but still slightly gooey.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving: This will allow the filling to firm up.
  • Serve the pie with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream: This will add a delicious finishing touch.
