Ingredients [ For 14 to 15 people ] [ Preparation time : 58 minute – Cooking time : 55 minutes ]
- 1 pie crust recipe for sweet pie pressed into 9” deep dish pie dish poked all over with a fork, then baked 10 minutes at 375 degrees F
Salted Caramel
- 2 1/4 cups full fat coconut milk
- 1 cup organic coconut sugar
- 3/4 tsp sea salt
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
Pie Filling
- Salted caramel cooled for at least 1 hour
- 3 eggs
- 2 tbsp pure maple syrup
- Pinch salt
- 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 1/2 cups chopped pecans
- 1 cup pecan halves
Preparation Method
Salted Caramel
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together the coconut milk and coconut sugar over medium heat.
- Bring to a boil, stirring or whisking, then lower the heat a bit so that the mixture is bubbling but not overflowing.
- Continue to cook, stirring occasionally to avoid any burning, for 15-20 minutes or until mixture is reduced and a deep caramel color*
- After preparing the caramel, allow it to cool at room temp for at least 1 hour before continuing with the filling.
Filling & Pie
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees (lowering the temp from 375 for the crust)
- Mix the chopped pecans (saving the halves for the top of the pie) with the maple syrup, 1/2 tsp vanilla, cinnamon, and pinch salt.
- Allow them to sit for 10 minutes.
- Whisk the eggs into the salted caramel (after an hour of cooling) 1 at a time until smooth, then stir in the pecan mixture.
- Pour filling into partially baked crust, then arrange pecan halves on the top of the pie.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, until center, is set and crust is golden brown.
- Allow pie to cool completely at room temp before serving for easy slicing.
- If you plan to refrigerate before serving, make sure to first cool completely at room temperature before chilling.
- Pie is best served at room temp or cooler for easy slicing.
Enjoy it!!
