Reader Lisa in Wyoming kindly sent us a pecan pie recipe that uses honey. There are chopped pecans in the pie filling, and pecan halves in the topping.
Pie Filling Ingredients
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 unbaked pastry shell (9 inch diameter)
Topping Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1-1/2 cups pecan halves
Directions
- Pre-heat oven to 350 F.
- Prepare the pie filling ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the eggs, pecans, corn syrup, sugars, butter, vanilla and salt.
- Pour into a 9″ pastry shell.
- Bake at 350° for 30 minutes.
- Prepare the topping: In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the brown sugar and honey until well-combined. Stir in the pecan halves until coated.
- Remove pie from oven.
- Spoon the topping over the top of the pie, and gently spread it evenly, so that the pecan halves lay flat.
- Return the pie to the oven, and bake it an additional 15-20 minutes — until a knife inserted in the center of the pie comes out clean.
- Cool completely on a wire rack.
