Preparing the Crust
If you want to take your apple pecan pie to the next level, making your own crust is a must. Start by combining all-purpose flour, salt, and granulated sugar in a mixing bowl. Cut cold butter into small pieces and add it to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your hands, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse sand. Slowly add ice water and mix until the dough comes together. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least an hour.
Pro tip:
For an even flakier crust, freeze the butter before incorporating it into the flour.
Creating the Filling
While the crust is chilling, it's time to prepare the filling for your apple pecan pie. Start by peeling and thinly slicing Granny Smith apples. These tart apples hold their shape well and provide the perfect balance to the sweetness of the pie. In a separate bowl, mix together brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt. Toss the sliced apples with the sugar and spice mixture until well coated.
Pro tip:
For a more complex flavor, add a splash of apple cider vinegar to the filling.
Assembling and Baking the Pie
Roll out the chilled dough and place it into a 9-inch pie dish. Pour the apple filling into the crust and top it with a generous layer of chopped pecans. You can also add a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar on top for an extra crunch. Bake the pie at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Pro tip:
To prevent the crust from getting too brown, cover the edges with foil for the first 30 minutes of baking.
In conclusion, this Thanksgiving apple pecan pie recipe is a must-try for your holiday dinner. The combination of homemade crust, tart apples, and crunchy pecans will have your guests asking for seconds. So why not add this delicious and professional dessert to your Thanksgiving menu and impress your loved ones with your baking skills?
