Pecan Pie (ingredients, brown sugar, allspice, cinnamon)

[yankeegirl313]

I want to make a pecan pie for Thanksgiving, but last years pie did not turn out so well. Is it hard to make, and any tips so this years pecan pie turns out?

I use the recipe on the back of Karo's light corn syrup bottles, it comes out perfect every year. I also make a butter pie crust from scratch. Everyone loves my pecan pies, and asks how I manage to make them so well. And it is so easy! I do tend to add a few more pecans than the recipe calls for, though. And do make sure your oven's temperature is accurate. A few years ago we had a new oven, and I made the mistake of cooking the pie for the proper length of time, only to cut it open at dessert, but it wasn't done. It turns out that our oven was 15 degrees below temp.

I hate to say it but I always buy Edward's Georgia pecan pie and thaw it out...I couldn't make it better than that (but I'm sure there are some bakers on here that could).

Hope you find a recipe you like!

I don't use corn syrup or maple syrup, I use honey. Grin. Folks say my pecan pie will make a puppy dog pull a freight train down a dirt road.

If you want to try something different I got this one from penzeys.com It's obviously not the traditional pumpkin or pecan pie but I'm planning on trying it this year...

Pumpkin-Pecan Pie

No holiday meal is complete without pie, and this recipe from Bill makes two beautiful, delicious pies that will delight pecan pie lovers AND pumpkin pie lovers.

Pie Crust
11/2 sticks butter, room temperature (3/4 cup)
11/2 Cups flour
1 TB. sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
3-5 TB. milk
Pumpkin Layer
1 16 oz. can pumpkin (not pie filling)
3/4 Cup sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. PENZEYS CINNAMON
1/2 tsp. GROUND ALLSPICE
1/2 tsp. PURE VANILLA EXTRACT
2 large eggs
Pecan Layer
1 Cup white corn syrup
1 Cup dark brown sugar
1/3 Cup melted butter
1 tsp. PURE VANILLA EXTRACT
3 large eggs, slightly beaten
2 Cups chopped pecans

Crust: Using a fork or your fingers, mix the butter with the flour, sugar and salt until it looks likes peas and crumbles. Drizzle the milk in bit by bit, using the fork or a spoon to blend the crust until it just sticks together. Divide the dough in half and pat into discs. Cover in plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes before rolling out. On a well-floured surface, roll the discs from the center to the outer edges with a well-floured rolling pin. Add more flour if needed. Roll until the circles are larger than your pie pans. Gently ease the crusts into the pans.

Pumpkin Layer: Prepare the pumpkin layer while the crust dough is chilling. Preheat oven to 350°. In a mixing bowl, beat together the pumpkin, sugar, salt, CINNAMON, ALLSPICE and VANILLA until well mixed. Add the eggs and beat until combined. Divide the pumpkin mixture evenly between the two crust-lined pie plates. Bake at 350° for 15 minutes. Check the pies by jiggling them gently. You don’t want the pies to be completely set, you want them to still be slightly under-baked but not runny. Remove from the oven and let cool while you make the pecan layer.

Pecan Layer: In a mixing bowl, combine the corn syrup, brown sugar, butter and VANILLA. Mix well. Add the eggs and mix to combine. Fold in the pecans. Divide the pecan mixture between the two pies and return them to the 350° oven. Bake for 45 minutes.
