Grain-Free Pecan Pie Recipe
Many pie fillings are, thankfully, naturally gluten-free. It’s the crust that’s the kicker. I’ve had more than a few failed pie crusts over the years but this Pecan Pie Recipe uses my trusty press-in cashew crust.
Grain-Free Pecan Pie Recipe
This delicious fall-inspired Pecan Pie Recipe uses my trusty press-in cashew crust.
Servings: 1 9 Inch Pie
Calories: 4320kcal
Ingredients
For the crust:
- 2 cups raw cashews
- 1 tablespoon coconut flour
- 2 tablespoons salted butter room temperature (plus more for greasing the pie dish)
- 1 large egg
For the filling:
- 1 cup packed pitted Medjool dates (about 10 large dates)
- ½ cup warm water
- ½ cup maple syrup
- 3 large eggs
- ¼ cup salted butter room temperature
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- 1⅔ cups raw pecans
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Grease a 9-inch pie dish with butter.
Make the crust:
- In a food processor fitted with the steel blade, process the cashews and coconut flour until powdery. Add the butter and egg. Process until a dough forms. Press the dough into the bottom and up the sides of the pie dish, pressing it out as evenly as possible. Set aside.
Make the filling:
- Add the dates and water to the food processor (no need to clean it first). Process to form a paste, 30-60 seconds. Add the maple syrup, eggs, butter, vanilla, and salt. Process until smooth. Pour the filling into the pie crust. Scatter the pecans on top and press gently to even out.
- Bake for about 35 minutes, until golden brown, set around the edges, and a bit wobbly in the center. Cool completely at room temperature before serving. Store leftovers, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
