Ingredients

For the Pie Crust

  • 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/8 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp almond extract
  • 1/2 cup cold water
  • 1/2 cup cold butter Chopped into small pieces

For The Pecan Pie Filling

  • 3 Eggs beaten
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup light corn syrup
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp almond extract
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 1 cup pecan halves
  • 3 tbsp melted butter

Instructions

For The Pie Crust

  • Combine the flour, salt and sugar and mix well.
  • Add the cold butter a little at a time and work together with the flour mixture until a course mixture is formed. You will want to make sure there are not many large clumps of butter. The texture should be sand-like.
  • Add the almond extract and work into the flour/butter mixture with your hands.
  • Add the water one tablespoon at a time and work together until a smooth ball of dough is formed.
  • Roll the dough on a flat, floured surface. It should be roughly 10-12 inches in diameter.
  • Add the pie crust to a 8 or 9 inch pie dish, and trim the edges to the desired length. You can create fancy edges or just use a fork to press the crust down into the edge of the pie dish.
  • Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes

For the Pecan Pie Filling / Baking Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350
  • Combine the corn syrup, salt, almond extract, brown sugar and melted butter in a large bowl and mix well.
  • Add the eggs and continue mixing.
  • Add the chopped pecans and mix well.
  • Pour the mixture over the pie crust and then add a layer of the halved pecans on the top of the pie.
  • Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until slightly firm. The filling will firm up as it is refrigerated as well.
  • Refrigerate at least one hour before serving.
