For the crust:
2 c spelt flour (you could use a gf flour mix or whole wheat flour)
1 tsp salt
1/3 c almond milk
2/3 c coconut oil
2 tbs honey
Blend dry ingredients first, then add milk, honey, & oil. Roll out crust between parchment paper (or use a spoon and push it into the pie as i like to do). Put into the fridge to firm up while making the filling.
for the filling:
3/4 c raw sugar
2/3 c coconut oil
2 tbs blackstrap molasses
1/2 stick butter (1/4 cup)
3 eggs, beaten
1 tsp vanilla
1/4 tsp salt
2 1/4 c pecans (1 c pecan pieces and 1 1/4 c pecan halves)
- In a sauce pan, bring sugar, coconut oil, molasses, & butter to a boil, stirring so sugar doesn’t still to pan.
- Continue to stir while boiling for 1 minute.
- Remove from heat and allow to cool for 10 minutes or until luke warm.
- Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
- Stir in pecans, vanilla, and eggs
- Pour into pie crust and bake for 50 minutes
Very important, I forgot, but if you bake your pie in a brown bag, your crust won’t burn. 🙂
Enjoy!
