PECAN PIE - MORE PECANS, LESS SUGAR!



Pecan Pie - More Pecans, Less Sugar! image

Pecan Pie is a southern favorite. But every pecan pie I tasted was way too sweet. I found this recipe years ago in a magazine. My husband won't eat any other pecan pie, anywhere. This recipe is has the traditional pie filling, but not sickeningly sweet and it is loaded with pecans! I am asked to bring it to every family gathering. Enjoy!

Provided by msippigrl

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (9-inch) refrigerated pie crust, unbaked (I used Pillsbury)
3 large eggs
1 cup light corn syrup (or dark if your preference, or half and half)
1 teaspoon pure maple syrup or vanilla extract
1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Scant 1/2 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 cups Rice Krispies cereal

Steps:

  • Unroll pie crust onto waxed paper on the counter; sprinkle lightly with flour and smooth out with your hand. Place another piece of waxed paper on the top of the crust; carefully flip over and sprinkle other side with flour and smooth it out. Fit crust in pie plate and crimp edges as desired. Set aside. Melt butter then set aside to cool slightly. Preheat oven to 340 degrees F. In a mixing bowl, lightly whisk the eggs; whisk in the corn syrup and maple syrup or vanilla. Whisk in the sugar, melted butter, and salt. Gently fold in the cereal. Pour into pie crust. Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until center is set when pie pan is lightly shaken. (After the first 30 minutes of bake time, cover the edges of crust with strips of aluminum foil if over-browning). Cool completely on a wire cooling rack. Serve with whipped cream or whipped topping. Cover and refrigerate leftovers, just let set out for 10 minutes before serving time.
