Two Layer Pecan Pie Recipes

Steps:

• Set a 9-inch cake ring (with 1 1/2-inch sides) on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. On a lightly floured work surface, roll out dough to a 13-inch round. Fit dough into ring; trim edges. Freeze 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Whisk together eggs, syrup, and sugar in a medium bowl until smooth. Whisk in butter, vanilla, lemon juice, and salt. Stir in chopped pecans. Pour filling into shell. Arrange pecan halves on top in concentric circles.
• Bake, tenting with foil after 15 minutes, until filling is set, about 1 hour. Let cool at least 2 hours on a wire rack. Serve with whipped cream.

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine flour and salt. Cut in shortening and butter until crumbly. Add water, tossing with a fork until a ball forms. Roll out pastry to fit an 18-oz. baking dish. Press onto the bottom and up the sides of the dish. , Combine filling ingredients; mix well. Pour into pastry shell. Bake at 375° for 35-40 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

Steps:

• Beat bottom layer ingredients together until smooth.
• Pour into an unbaked pie shell.
• Mix top layer ingredients and pour gently over the cream cheese mixture.
• Bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 50 to 60 minutes.
• As it bakes, the bottom layer will rise to the top.

Steps:

• Make sure you have a rack in the center of your oven and preheat to 350°F.
• In a mixing bowl, whisk the sugar, egg, corn syrup, melted butter, vanilla, salt, and bourbon (optional). Mix until everything is well blended.
• Place half of the pecans in each crust. Pour the filling evenly into both crusts. Bake for about 30 minutes, or until the filling is set.
• Note: This recipe assumes you use pie crusts partially baked in a 4 by 1-3/4 inch tart pan or jumbo muffin tin. I made mine in 4 by 1-1/2 inch cake pans. I think next time I make this, if I am pressed for time, I may cut a 6-inch round from refrigerated pie crust and use in my pans to see how it works.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to a 1/8-in.-thick circle; transfer to a 9-in. pie plate. Trim crust to 1/2 in. beyond rim of plate; flute edge. Refrigerate while preparing filling., In a Dutch oven or large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add pecans; cook, stirring constantly, until very fragrant and pecans start to brown, 4-5 minutes. Remove pecans with a slotted spoon, reserving butter in pan. Stir in brown sugar, maple syrup, and salt; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer 2 minutes. Remove from the heat. In a bowl, whisk a small amount of the hot mixture into eggs; return all to the pan, whisking constantly. Stir whiskey, optional, and vanilla into brown sugar mixture; stir in pecans. Pour into crust. , Bake until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, 55-60 minutes. Cover edges with foil during the last 30 minutes to prevent overbrowning if necessary. Cool on a wire rack. If desired, top with whipped cream and cinnamon. Refrigerate leftovers.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Unroll 1 pie crust on a work surface; brush with water. Place second pie crust atop the first pie crust; press gently together. Place the double crust in a 9-inch pie pan.
• Beat cream cheese, 1/2 cup sugar, 1 egg, vanilla, and salt together in a bowl until smooth and creamy. Pour into pie crust; sprinkle cheesecake filling with pecans.
• Mix corn syrup, butter, 1/4 cup sugar, 3 eggs, and rum extract together in a bowl until smooth; pour over pecan layer.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a knife inserted in the center of the pie comes out clean, 45 to 50 minutes.
