Crock Pot Pecan Pie
Crock pots have to be just about the best invention ever! This Pecan Pie in a crock pot turned out so great. The super-sweet filling that is so characteristic of a pecan pie sets up perfectly and the pecans turn beautifully golden in color.
Ingredients
- 5 oz refrigerated pie crust I used Pillsbury & weighed out the dough
- 1 egg
- 2 large egg whites
- 1/2 cup pyure granulated all purpose sweetener
- 0.5 cup dark corn syrup
- 2 tbsp whipped butter melted
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups chopped pecans or a combination of chopped and whole pecan halves
Instructions
- Spray the inside of a crock pot with cooking spray.
- Place pie crust in crock pot and mold it to fit the shape of the crock pit. (This is easier if you have a round crock pot instead of an oval one, but you can make do with an oval.)
- In a separate bowl, stir remaining ingredients together, except pecans, until mixed well.
- Stir in pecans. I like to leave about half the pecans to arrange on top of the filling to make it look prettier. If you want to give your pecan more flavor don't forget to toast them lightly before adding them in.
- Pour your filling into the pie crust. If you reserved some pecans, gently place them on top of the filling.
- Cover crock pot and cook on HIGH for 2 1/2 to 3 hours. Voilà!
Notes
I used an oval crockpot so this will work out much better if you have a round one. You can play around with the ingredients quantities a little and make this 8 slices versus 6. Let me know what tweaks you make to make this pie even better!
