AN EASY, FUN VERSION OF PECAN PIE

Crock Pot Pecan Pie is an easy holiday dessert that will have everyone begging for more! Refrigerated pie crust with a delicious homemade pecan pie filling!

WHY MAKE PECAN PIE IN THE SLOW COOKER?

• Because it saves oven space! During the holidays, we have the oven running around the clock. There is only so much you can cram in your oven at one time. Right? So this frees up that precious oven space. It bakes up beautifully and it slices up beautifully.
• Updated to add: Some folks emailed me and expressed concerns that they feel their slow cookers 'run hot' and are afraid the sides would burn before the middle was done. You can cook this on low. And I really recommend using the parchment paper as it creates a barrier between the pie and the slow cooker insert. If you cook it on low, you'll just need to double the cooking time.

INGREDIENTS NEEDED: (FULL RECIPE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE POST)

• refrigerated pie crust
• eggs
• light corn syrup
• sugar
• salted butter
• cinnamon
• vanilla extract
• pecan halves

HOW TO MAKE CROCK POT PECAN PIE:

Line a 5 or 6 quart oval slow cooker with parchment paper (12.5 inch x 16 inch). Press the paper down into the slow cooker to create an outline of the bottom of the cooker.

Remove parchment paper and place unrolled pie crust onto the parchment paper (lining it up with the creases from the outline in the parchment paper). Gently roll up the edges of the pie crust and make small indentations to help the crust stick to the parchment paper and to keep in the filling better.

Place parchment paper/pie crust into slow cooker (pastry should extend 2 to 3 inches up the sides). Bend and fold the pastry as needed to get it to fit properly.

In a bowl combine the eggs, corn syrup, sugar, melted butter, cinnamon and vanilla. Whisk until smooth.

Stir in 1 cup of the pecans. Note: You can chop up these pecans if you like smaller bits in your pie.

Gently pour mixture into crust in the slow cooker.

Top with remaining cup of pecans. Place them evenly in a pattern to make a nice presentation.

Place a layer of paper towels on top of the slow cooker then cover with the lid.

Note: The paper towels just help collect excess condensation that is produced during the baking process.

Cook on high for 3 to 3 ½ hours or until filling is puffed and set. When pie is finished, turn off slow cooker. Let stand, uncovered, for a minimum of 1 hour. It's really important to let the pie cool completely. It will make it easier to remove and serve.

Cut and serve straight from the slow cooker. 

Or gently lift the parchment paper from the crock pot and then slice and serve.

And if you are really wanting to take it over the top, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

• If you like smaller pieces of pecan in your pie, be sure to chop up at least one cup before mixing.
