Pecan Pie Recipe

Ingredients

1 batch of Vegan Empire's vegan pie crust 
3 tbsp. cornstarch 
1 cup water
1 and 1/4 cup organic maple syrup
1/2 tsp salt
2 tbsp. vegan butter flavored coconut oil
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup pecans, chopped
1 cup pecan halves

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
  2. Grease a 9" pie pan with some extra coconut oil.  Roll out the pie dough and place it into the pie dish.  Prick the bottom of the dough with a fork and cut off the excess dough. 
  3. Bake for about 10 minutes or until golden brown.  Set aside.
  4. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  5. To make the filling, place the cornstarch along with 1/4 cup of the water in a small bowl and stir.  Set aside.
  6. In a saucepan over high heat, add the remainder of the water (3/4 cup) and the maple syrup and boil for 5 minutes.
  7. Mix in the salt and the cornstarch-water mixture and continue mixing until the filling thickens noticeably.
  8. Once the filling has thickened, turn off the heat and stir in the coconut oil, vanilla, and the chopped pecans (not the halves!).
  9. When combined, pour the filling into the pie crust and place the pecan halves on top in a single layer.
  10. Bake for 30 minutes.
  11. Remove from oven and set to cool at room temperature for about 1 to 2 hours.  Place in the fridge to cool thoroughly and set.  I suggest overnight.
  12. Serve and enjoy!
