Thaw the pecan syrup in warm water.
Empty bag of pecans into the pie crust, spreading them out evenly.
Once the pecan syrup is thawed, cut the corner of the bag and pour syrup over the pecans in a circular motion making sure to coat each pecan.
Bake your full sized pie for 40–50 mins OR 30–40 mins for individual size.
Pie should be set up, firm and look caramelized. It will have puffed up slightly and might have small bubbles. Crust should be golden brown.
Remove from oven and let it cool sufficiently to set (about 30+ mins).
Enjoy!! (Especially yummy with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream.)
*Keep any leftovers in the fridge
Step 1: Partially bake your pie crust (known as parbaking or blind baking)
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
(Convection ovens work great!! Adjust temperature and times accordingly).
Unwrap your frozen pie crust and place it on a parchment-lined cookie sheet (parchment provided in your box) leaving the parchment and extra tin, that are on top, in place.
Next, fill the cavity of the pie tin about half way full with either pie weights, dried beans or rice. Three extra pie tins with a cookie sheet placed on top will do the trick as well.
Bake at 375°F for 15-20 mins (time may vary based on your oven) until the crust just begins to brown (it will still be pale, but it should not look like raw dough).
Let pie crust cool for 10 mins before removing weights, extra tin and parchment - all of which can be discarded (pie tin can be recycled). Please note each item will be extremely hot.
Step 2:
While crust is baking - set the molten brownie batter to the side to soften.
Once your crust is parbaked, pour batter into pie crust. Place pie back onto parchment lined cookie sheet and bake at 375 for 45-55 minutes, until the pie is puffed on top, but still wiggly in the center. The longer it bakes, the more set your pie will be. If you prefer your crust to not brown too much, cover your edges with aluminum foil.
Remove from oven and let cool sufficiently (20-30 minutes) or till desired temperature. The warmer the pie, the more molten like it will be. The cooler, the more brownie like. #WinWin
Step 3
ENJOY!
Pairs great with hazelnut or coffee whip cream, raspberry compote, caramel drizzle and of course ice cream ….. and so much more!! The perfect time to get creative!
Do NOT Thaw (keep turnovers in freezer until oven is preheated)
Place turnovers on parchment lined cookie sheet (parchment provided in your box)
Bake at 400°F for 24–28 mins, until crust is flaky golden brown
Transfer turnovers immediately to cooling rack and sprinkle with sugar for an added touch
ENJOY! (best served warm—reheat in microwave for about 12 seconds)
Please note: Individual ovens and thermostats may vary. Adjust temperature & cooking time according to your own experience
