Hi everyone, welcome to my show, Kathleen's Plate
On today's episode, I'm going to be making pecan pie. Y'all, in this house, we don't need a holiday to make pecan pie
All you really need is a tub of ice cream to go with it
So on this version of pecan pie, I'm going to cook it in a crock pot using my pie crust
And then we're going to have chopped pecans, dark corn syrup, we're going to have some
vanilla in it, and sugar and eggs. So let's get started making this
Okay, to start the process, we are going to spray the inside of our crock pot sleeve in
the bottom and around about halfway of it with a spray. I use coconut oil spray, or you can use any spray that you want or what you have
Alright, that's enough right there. Okay, now we're going to put our pie crust inside here
Now just keep in mind this is an oval bowl, and we're going to have a round pie crust
So we're going to rustically place it in there and pat it around the edges
Alright, we're going to take this out of here. Alright, you're going to start peeling it
Over the edge, there we go. Alright, we are going to place this in the bottom and make sure it's even kind of all
the way around because you're going to put pie mixture in here. Alright, and just flatten it up on the edges
There we go. Now, if you have little spots like that, just pinch them together
There we go. Okay, if you have any holes there, just pinch it together
Now we're going to start making the inside custard for this. For the mixture, it's going to contain one cup of sugar
one third cup of melted butter, two thirds cup of dark corn syrup
I have three eggs that I have kind of lightly beaten, one teaspoon of vanilla
Alright, now we're going to get a whisk and whisk all this in together
Okay, now we're going to add our pinch of salt. Okay, now we're at the stage where we can go ahead and add our one and a half cups of pecans
Okay, we're going to use a spatula now to go ahead and mix the pecans in
Smells really good. Alright, how does that look
Good enough for pecan pie. We are going to now pour this into our crock pot sleeve that has the crust in it
Alright. And be careful, make sure don't overfill if you don't have to
Let's see what it's doing. Oh yes, look at that. Okay. I think we can get a little bit more in there
There we go. Okay. Okay, now we're going to lift our sleeve and we're going to very carefully
we're going to put it into our crock pot. Oh yeah. There we go
Alright, what do you think? We're going to put this on high
Let's see. Select on high for three hours and we'll come back and check on it
Okay, it's been three hours on high and I'm going to go ahead and take the lid off of this
What we want to do is cool this down. So I'm going to take it out of here and just set it down on a trivet with the lid off
and just kind of cool it down for 30 minutes to an hour. Okay, so we're going to release the lid
Okay. Oh my gosh, look at that
That center of that mixture has solidified. It is solid. Look at the crust going around the edges of it
It's pulled away from the crock pot, which is what we want. So once we cool this, we'll be able to get that out of there in one piece
is what we're hoping for anyway. So I'm going to go ahead and take the sleeve out
and then move it onto a trivet so it'll cool down. Alright, be really careful when you're taking this out
Oh, there, look at that. I'm ready to dive into that with some vanilla ice cream
But we're going to let it cool down just a little bit and we're going to take a taste of it
Okay, so we're going to take a knife. This has cooled off completely
It's been about 30 minutes. We're going to take a knife and just kind of run it around the edges of here
just to kind of loosen it up. Make sure it's not stuck to the sides
Kind of go all the way around. Get kind of a small spatula
and kind of pull it, pull it, pull it. I think we got a good pull on the whole thing
Let's go over here and make sure. Here it comes
There we go. Alright, now we're going to give this a try
Okay, everybody, I'm going to go ahead and start cutting into our pecan pie that was made in the Crock-Pot
Oh, hear that crunch? Oh, hear that crunch? Let's use this one
Look at this. Do you see all of the filling and how it's set perfectly
and all of the pecans are just in there? And that crust
Let's look at that crust. Look at that crust. Alright, we're going to put it in our bowl here
Alright, what goes good with pecan pie but a scoop of vanilla ice cream
Or two. Alright, I'm going to give this a try. Mmm
That is really good. Just remember what I said. You don't need a holiday
to eat a pecan pie. You just need to eat it. You don't need a holiday
