Homemade Pecan Pie

Print Recipe

Ingredients
  

Crust

  • 2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 cup lard
  • 6 Tbsp COLD water

Filling

  • 1 cup maple syrup
  • 1 cup coconut sugar
  • 3 eggs slightly beaten
  • 1/3 cup butter melted
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 heaping cup pecan halves

Instructions
 

For the crust

  • Mix the flour and salt in a medium sized bowl. Cut in the lard until you have pea-sized crumbs.
  • Add the COLD water 2 tablespoons at a time and mix until all of the water has been added. Your dough will be pretty sticky.
  • Divide your dough in 2 pieces and roll out on a (heavily) floured surface.
  • Transfer the dough to your pie plate and trim the edges accordingly.

For the filling

  • Combine the maple syrup, coconut sugar, eggs, butter, salt and vanilla in a bowl and mix well.
  • Pour the mixture into the prepared pie crust and sprinkle with the pecan halves.
  • Bake at 350F degrees for 50 minutes, or until the center is set.
  • Cool completely

Notes

*I do want to note that this recipe makes enough dough for 2 9-inch pie crusts or one 9-inch pie that has a top and bottom crust.
*I baked my pie for 50 minutes because I was worried about over baking. If your pie is still wiggly in the middle and looks like it could go longer, don't be afraid to tack on another 10 minutes to your baking time. Just keep an eye on it.
