At one point of my life I worked hard to find the perfect pie crust recipe. I have since given up on the time it takes and turned to frozen bought crusts, which it turns out are super easy and good! In honor of Canadian Thanksgiving (last weekend), here are a few of the pies that I made.
When it comes to pecan pie, I look for a pie that has a delicious gooey interior. Although I didn't get a picture of the inside of this pie, I promise it doesn't disappoint! It reminds me of butter tarts with pecans, another Canadian favourite of mine (not a typo).
I made this pie before work one morning while enjoying my cup of coffee.
Here's the recipe:
3 large eggs
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 cup of light corn syrup
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1 heaping tbsp all purpose flour
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup of pecans, coarsely chopped
Preheat oven to 350F.
Lightly beat the eggs and then whisk in the sugar. Add in syrup and butter and combine until smooth. Add flour and vanilla and once again whisk until smooth (such an easy pie to make!) Stir in the pecans and pour into 9" unbaked pie shell.
Bake for 50 - 55 minutes, until it has a slight wobble but is mostly set up. Cool and serve with whipped topping!
And then on to the pumpkin pie! I have to admit that I just use the recipe on the can of pumpkin puree. I usually google Libby's Pumpkin Pie to find the recipe if I bought my pumpkin puree at Aldi, which I usually do!
