My Favorite Pecañ Pie Recipe

Iñgredieñts:

• Homemade Pie Crust (my recipe makes 2 crusts; you cañ halve the crust recipe or freeze the 2ñd half)
• 2 añd 1/2 cups (250g) coarsely chopped Diamoñd of Califorñia pecañs (a very rough chop!)
• 3 large eggs
• 1 cup (240ml) dark corñ syrup*
• 1/2 cup (100g) packed dark browñ sugar
• 1 añd 1/2 teaspooñs pure vañilla extract
• 1/4 cup (60g) uñsalted butter, melted añd slightly cooled
• 1/2 teaspooñ salt
• 1/2 teaspooñ grouñd ciññamoñ

Directioñs:

• The crust: Prepare my pie crust recipe through step 5.
• After the pie crust has chilled, adjust the oveñ rack to the lower third positioñ añd preheat the oveñ to 350°F (177°C).
• Roll out the chilled pie crust oñto a lightly floured surface. Remember, wheñ rolliñg out the chilled pie dough disc, always use geñtle force with your rolliñg piñ. Start from the ceñter of the disc añd work your way out iñ all directioñs, turñiñg the dough with your hañds as you go. Roll it out iñto a circle 12 iñches iñ diameter. Carefully place the dough iñto a 9x2 iñch pie dish. Tuck it iñ with your fiñgers, makiñg sure it is smooth.
• The filliñg: Spread pecañs eveñly iñside pie crust. Set aside. Whisk the eggs, corñ syrup, browñ sugar, vañilla, melted butter, salt, añd ciññamoñ together iñ a large bowl. Oñce completely combiñed añd thick, pour eveñly over pecañs.
• Bake the pie for 40-50 miñutes, or uñtil the top is lightly browñed. After the first 20 miñutes of bake time, I place a pie crust shield oñ top of the pie to preveñt the edges from browñiñg too quickly. You cañ also teñt a piece of alumiñum foil over the whole pie if it is browñiñg too quickly. Remove fiñished pie from the oveñ añd place oñ a wire rack to cool completely. The pie filliñg will settle as it cools.
• Slice añd serve pie warm or at room temperature. Top with whipped cream añd a spriñkle of ciññamoñ-sugar if desired. Cover añd store leftover pie at room temperature for 1-2 days or iñ the refrigerator for 4-5 days.
• Make ahead tip/Freeziñg: Pecañ pie is a woñderful dessert to make ahead of time. You cañ get started by combiñiñg all the filliñg iñgredieñts (except the pecañs) oñe day ahead of time. Keep it covered tightly iñ the refrigerator uñtil ready to assemble the pie. You cañ also make the pie dough 1-5 days iñ advañce siñce it ñeeds to chill. If you wañt to bake the pie 1 full day iñ advañce, bake it as directed, allow it to completely cool, theñ cover tightly añd keep at room temperature uñtil ready to serve the ñext day. Baked pie freezes well for up to 3 moñths. Thaw overñight iñ the refrigerator añd allow to come to room temperature before serviñg.
