Full of nuts, slightly boozy and flaky! This Bourbon Pecan Pie with an All-Butter Crust definitely sounds like the cast of characters at a family feast. Clark?! In all seriousness, this flaky butter crust complements the richness of the pecan, bourbon and cinnamon spiced filling. Top with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream!
For All Butter Crust:
1–1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. salt (kosher, table or sea)
1–1/2 tsp. granulated sugar
1 stick unsalted butter, cold and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1/2 cup cold water
1/2 cup ice
2 tbsp. apple cider vinegar
For Bourbon Pecan Pie Filling:
1 cup light brown sugar, packed
1 cup light corn syrup
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
3 large eggs
1/2 tsp. salt (table, kosher, or sea)
3 tbsp. bourbon
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
2 cups pecan, coarsely chopped
To Prepare All Butter Crust:
Stir the a.p. flour, salt, and sugar together in a mixing bowl. Add the butter pieces and toss to evenly combine with flour mixture. With a pastry cutter, forks or your fingers, cut butter into pea-sized pieces in flour. Be careful to not overwork the butter.
Combine the water, ice and vinegar a bowl. Add 1-2 tablespoons of liquid to flour butter mixture and stir with a spatula. Continue to add liquid in 1-2 tablespoon amounts and stir until dough forms a ball. (Ideally, this should be 4-6 total tablespoons of liquid.) Form into a disk and wrap with plastic wrap. Chill in the refrigerator for an hour (or more). Roll on a floured surface and place into a 9-inch pie pan. Fill and bake as desired.
To Make Bourbon Pecan Pie Filling:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil. Place the pie pan and pie crust on baking sheet. Set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, corn syrup, melted butter, eggs, salt, bourbon and cinnamon. Stir in the pecans. Pour into prepared pie crust.
Bake for 55-60 minutes. The filling will puff around the edges and should jiggle slightly in the center. A knife inserted in the pie’s center should come out clean. Let cool completely on a wire rack. Serve with whipped cream or ice cream.
To store the pie, cover with plastic wrap in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
