Ingredients
  

  • 6 TBSP butter
  • 1 and 1/4 cup light brown sugar packed
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup Agave In The Raw
  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • 2 cups pecans I prefer mine coarsely chopped
  • 1 9" deep dish pie crust unbaked (homemade or store bought is fine)

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Wooden Spoon
  • Baking Sheet
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Chef's Knife
  • Frying Pan

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Prepare your pie crust in your pie plate so that it is ready for your filling. Pour pecans into pie crust and spread out. Place pie plate with crust and pecans onto a baking sheet and set aside.
  3. In a heavy saucepan over medium heat, melt your butter. Once butter is melted, add brown sugar and stir until mixture is well combined. Remove from heat. Add in your vanilla, salt and Agave In The Raw, stirring until well combined.
  4. In a separate large bowl, gently beat the eggs. Add mixture in the saucepan to the egg mixture, stir to combine the two mixtures. Pour mixture over pecans in pie crust.
  5. Place pie plate (on baking sheet) into oven and bake until the filling is set, approximately 50 to 60 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool for at least two hours prior to serving. Store in refrigerator tightly covered.

Notes

  • Tip 1: To store your leftover Pecan Pie, keep it in the refrigerator tightly covered. It can last up to four days.
  • Tip 2: Yes, you can freeze Pecan Pie! Wrap it well in plastic wrap and aluminum foil, and it should keep for about two months. Thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
  • Tip 3: This pie pairs beautifully with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Consider serving it warm for a comforting experience.
  • Tip 4: Feel free to experiment by adding chocolate chips or a splash of bourbon for an indulgent twist.
  • Tip 5: Homemade pie crust is fantastic, but store-bought can save you time without sacrificing flavor. Choose whichever fits your schedule.
