Recipe by Katherine Sacks
Earthy maple syrup, smoky bourbon, and caramely brown sugar join forces to make the rich custard that fills this decadent pie. Softly whipped vanilla cream, made with a touch of tangy Greek yogurt, balances the sweetness.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup pecans (2 ounces)
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, divided
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 °F. Toast pecans on a rimmed baking sheet, tossing once, until fragrant and slightly darkened, about 10 minutes; let cool.
- Pulse pecans and 1 Tbsp. flour in a food processor until finely ground. Add granulated sugar, salt, cinnamon, and remaining 1 cup plus 7 Tbsp. flour and pulse to combine. With the machine running, add butter, vinegar, and 2 Tbsp. cold water in a slow, steady stream and mix just until incorporated.
- Transfer mixture to a large bowl and press with your hands until a dough forms. Form into a 6" disc, then transfer to pie plate and press into bottom and up sides with a flat-bottomed measuring cup. Crimp edge with a floured fork, if desired, and freeze while you prepare the filling.
