nut pies

A cherished family recipe from King Arthur employee-owner Liz Fairley, this traditional pie uses no corn syrup. The filling is silky smooth, and the pecans on top toast nicely as the pie bakes, matching the nuttiness of the toasted ones underneath.

Old-Fashioned Pecan Pie

9" single pie crust prepared

(113 grams) unsalted butter

(28 grams) King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour

(454 grams) light brown sugar

salt

(85 grams) milk

eggs

vinegar

vanilla extract

Pecan pie is a beloved institution; if you have a sweet tooth, this is your dessert. Our recipe lightly toasts some of the nuts in the filling with a sprinkle of salt, which makes the flavors even richer and balances the sweetness of the filling. The crunchiness of the nuts is a pleasing contrast to the silky filling that surrounds them. This is a pie that wears a small scoop of vanilla ice cream or dollop of whipped cream exceptionally well. Since it's such a rich pie, we recommend smaller portions, 10 slices from each pie instead of 8.

Y'all have heard of Southern pecan pie, right? Well, this northern version relies on maple syrup (rather than corn syrup) for its sweetness, giving it a distinctly New England flavor.

This slab pie, which comes from Claire Saffitz's cookbook What's For Dessert, is a cross between the most indulgent bowl of oatmeal you’ve ever had and a classic pecan pie. Oats and walnuts are toasted for a warm depth of flavor, then piled inside a super flaky crust and bound by a filling of brown butter, cream, and cinnamon. Claire is so confident that this pie is going to be a crowd-pleaser, she bakes it as a large-format slab pie so there’s enough nutty deliciousness to go around.

Pecan pie is a classic favorite but this version goes a step further by adding chocolate chips to the filling. The chocolate beautifully complements the pecans' nuttiness; and, especially if you choose bittersweet chocolate, it cuts the pie's overall sweetness just a bit, allowing all of the flavors to shine more brightly.

This slight twist on pecan pie is more subtly flavored than those made with dark corn syrup. Lyle's Golden Syrup lets the flavor of the pecans shine through. And butter-rum, butter-pecan, or vanilla butternut flavor brings this old favorite to new heights.
