Apple Pecan Pie<\/b><\/h4>\n

<\/b>Crust Ingredients<\/strong>:
\n2.5 cups all-purpose flour
\n\u00bd tbsp granulated sugar
\n<\/span>\u00bd tsp sea salt
\n<\/span>2 sticks cold, unsalted butter (cut into tiny cubes)
\n<\/span>7 tbsp ice water<\/span><\/p>\n

Filling Ingredients:
\n<\/b>2 apples (cored, peeled, and diced)
\n\u00bd tsp cinnamon
\n\u2153 cup granulated sugar
\n1 tbsp cornstarch
\n3 eggs
\n1 cup dark corn syrup
\n\u00bc tsp salt
\n\u00bd stick melted, unsalted butter
\n1.5 cups pecan halves<\/p>\n

Directions:
\n<\/b>To make the crust, combine the flour, sugar, and salt in a food processor and pulse. Then, add in the butter and pulse more. At this point, the butter should be clumpy but the mixture should still be powdery. Add the ice water and work it into the mixture with your hands. Combine the dough until it is slightly sticky.<\/span><\/p>\n

Separate the dough into halves and separate them into disks. Cover them in plastic wrap and refrigerate.<\/span><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 425 F. Place the diced apples in a bowl with a few tablespoons of water and microwave for 2-3 minutes. Then, make sure the apples are drained and whisk the eggs, corn syrup, most of the sugar, salt, and melted butter in a separate bowl.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Roll the crust disks and place them in the pie tin. Mix the apples, sugar, cinnamon, and cornstarch and place them inside. Then, put the pecans on top in a single layer. Pour the butter mixture over the apples and pecans. Cover the top of the pie with the other disk and bake for 15 minutes at 425 F before reducing the temperature to 350F and baking for 40 more minutes.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n
