Thanksgiving, or just a family celebration, you can’t go wrong with apple pecan pie.
It is the perfect combination between two classic American Pie recipes, with soft, sweet apples and crunchy pecans.
You can serve it with cream, custard, ice cream, fresh fruit, or a pot of steaming hot coffee.
We have put together this list of 15 of the best recipes for apple pecan pie for you to choose from. Keep reading to find your perfect apple pecan pie recipe.
Have you ever tried an upside down cake? This recipe takes the idea of upside down cake but applies it to apple pecan pie for a delicious, hearty dessert.
You assemble the pie in a dish, starting with your pecan mixture.
You add a layer of pastry, spiced apple mix, and then another layer of pastry.
The edges are sealed and the pie is cooked. When you turn the pie out of the dish the layers are inverted, so the pecan mixture is on the top of the pie.
It is softer and more moist than a classic pie, and is perfect when served with custard.
Why choose between apple pie and pecan pie when you can have them both?
This pie is easy to make, it looks amazing, and it will fill your kitchen with a mouth watering smell.
The dark brown sugar used in the pie creates a really rich flavor and the store bought pie crust helps to save you time – though you can make your own if you prefer.
This recipe also has maple syrup which is the perfect flavor to tie together the apples and the pecans and create a taste of Fall.
The pastry is flaky and buttery, the apples are soft and sweet, and the nuts are crisp and caramelized.
It’s sticky, a little stodgy, and so satisfying. Make sure you wait for the pie crust to cool before you add the filling, as this will prevent the pastry from becoming soggy.
Nutmeg is used to flavor the filling of the pie whilst cinnamon is used for the topping.
Both flavors are warm and spiced which goes perfectly with the apples.
This recipe only partially peels the apples rather than removing all of the skin.
Apple skin has a lot of flavor and also contains pectin which acts as a thickening agent, creating the perfect consistency for your pie filling.
You can use store bought caramel sauce if you prefer, but this recipe shows you a quick and easy way to make your own caramel sauce to include in the pie.
This pie is much quicker to make than other recipes as the three components are prepared separately and assembled at the end, meaning that you can multitask (you can make and cook the filling while you cook the pie crust and let it cool). The whole process only takes an hour.
This pie is made of three delicious components – an all butter pie crust, a spiced apple pie filling with cinnamon and nutmeg, and a pecan praline glaze topping.
The topping is spooned over a top layer of pie crust, so this pie has two crusts instead of one.
This makes it extra filling and tasty – ideal for pastry lovers! If you are making this pie for a special occasion you can bake it the day before and add the glaze when your guests arrive.
Whether you want a traditional apple pecan pie, a caramel apple pecan pie, a pumpkin apple pecan pie, or even an upside down apple and pecan pie, you are certain to find a recipe that you love on this list.
Have you ever made something so delicious that you wished you could savor it forever?
Only to find that the recipe has now mysteriously vanished from your phone and the entirety of the internet. Yep, there’s not much more painful than that.
Hi, my name is Mark Williams and I have been infatuated with cooking since I was young. I would beg my mother to pull a chair up to the counter so I could watch what she was doing.
