  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup light corn syrup Karo
  • 2 tablespoons butter melted, use Smart Balance for dairy-free
  • 1.5 cups coarsely chopped pecans

Instructions
 

Pie Crust

  • Put the chopped butter, shortening, and water into the freezer for about 5 minutes or until really cold.
  • Combine the flour, salt, and sugar in a large bowl.
  • Add the butter and shortening to the flour mixture. Using the paddle attachment of your mixer, mix until fully combined.
  • Add the egg, apple cider vinegar, and the cold water to the mixture and mix fully combined and the dough starts to form.
  • Shape the dough into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 1 hour.
  • Remove the dough from the refrigerator and let stand at room temperature for 15 minutes.
  • Unwrap the dough ball and place onto parchment paper lightly floured with gluten-free flour.
  • Lightly flour the dough with gluten-free flour; top with the plastic wrap or another sheet of parchment paper.
  • Roll out the dough into a circle.
  • Carefully place the crust into a greased 9 ½-inch pie deep dish pan.
  • Press the dough into the bottom and sides. Seal any cracks, if necessary.
  • Place the pie crust into the refrigerator while preparing the pie filling.

Pecan Filling

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F.
  • In a large bowl whisk the eggs.
  • Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, pure vanilla extract, light corn syrup, and melted butter to the eggs and mix until fully combined and smooth.
  • Add the coarsely chopped pecans to the bottom of the pie crust.
  • Pour the egg mixture over the chopped pecans.
  • Place the pie on the middle rack and place a piece of aluminum foil over the top of the pie.
  • Bake for 40 minutes covered.
  • Remove the foil and bake for another 30 minutes, or until the center of the pie reaches 200°F and only jiggles only slightly.
  • For a firmer pie, bake for a total of 70 minutes, or for a softer pie, bake for 60 minutes.

Notes

I like Pillsbury gluten-free flour. Not all gluten-free flours are created equal. Spoon & level your flour for the best results. Add ½ teaspoon of xanthan gum if your flour blend doesn't contain it. Cover leftovers and refrigerate for up to 3-4 days. Wrap and freeze for up to 3 months.
