How to make Honey Pecan Pie:(scroll down for full recipe)
Ingredients:
- honey
- Pecans
- vanilla extract
- sugar
- all-purpose flour
- butter
- eggs
- salt
- 9 inch pie crust
Special Equipment:
- 9-inch pie pan
- mixing bowl
- large spoon
- knife
Instructions:
Step One: With a sharp knife roughly chop one cup of the pecan halves into smaller pieces then set them aside while you prepare the pie filling and crust.
Step Two: Follow directions on box of pie crust and transfer into pie plate.
Step Three: In a medium size mixing bowl combine together the all-purpose flour and sugar.
Step Four: In the same bowl add in the eggs, honey, butter, vanilla and salt. Stir until well combined. Mix in the chopped pecans.
Step Five: Transfer the honey and pecan pie filling into the prepared pie crust.
Optional: arrange pecan halves around edge and center of the pie in a decorative way.
Step Six: Cover the edges of the pie crust loosely with aluminum foil or a pie shield for the first 25 minutes to prevent them from burning.
Step Seven: After 25 minutes remove the foil from around the crust and continue to bak for an additional 20-25 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
Step Eight: Cool on a wire rack for 2 hours or until cooled through completely and pie has reached room temperature. Slice and Serve.
My Tips and Notes:
- Save your manicure and avoid shelling pecans by buying a bag of shelled pecan halves in the baking section of your grocery store. Measure out one cup of pecans and roughly chop them witha sharp knife. Then select a few nice pecans for the top of pie.
- Buy a refrigerated or frozen pie crust to make it easy. The real star of this pie is honey pecan filling so there’s no need to make a pie crust from scratch.
- Go all the way severe if al a mode! Top a slice of this delicious pie with a a scoop of vanilla ice cream for the ultimate treat!
Storage:
Refrigerator: Cover pie in the pie pan with plastic wrap or foil and store in fridge for up to five days.
Freezer: I do not recommend freezing this pie. Honey can expand when frozen and this can lead the pie over filling the pie pan and leaving you with a mess.
I hope your family will love this recipe as much as we do! If you do try this recipe please come back and leave a comment letting me know how much you liked it!
