Cinnamon-Spiced Pecan Pie
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
- 1/4 cup ice water
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups pecan halves
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together 1 1/4 cups of all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
- Add the cold, small pieces of unsalted butter to the flour mixture and use a pastry cutter or fork to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Slowly add the ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and mix the dough with a fork until it holds together. You may not need to use all of the water.
- Shape the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Place the dough into the pie dish and crimp the edges as desired.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup of granulated sugar, 1 cup of light corn syrup, 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
- Add in 3 large eggs and mix until well combined.
- Stir in 1 1/2 cups of pecan halves and mix until the pecans are evenly coated with the sugar mixture.
- Pour the pecan filling into the prepared pie crust.
- Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 40-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the filling is set. If the crust starts to brown too quickly, cover the edges with aluminum foil.
- Allow the pie to cool completely before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
