ingredients
 

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup coconut oil, solid
  • 3-4 tablespoons ice water
  • 2 cups chopped pecans
  • 1 cup maple syrup
  • ⅔ cup water
  • ½ cup flax meal (ground flax seeds)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
  • ½ cup pecan halves - (optional)

instructions
 

Pie Crust

  • In a large bowl, mix the flour and salt until combined. Add coconut oil (cold and solid) and, using a pastry cutter or two forks, cut the oil into the mixture until it resembles coarse meal.
  • Drizzle the cold water in 1 tablespoon at a time, stirring with a rubber spatula after every tablespoon. Stop adding water when the dough begins to form large clumps.
  • Transfer the pie dough to a floured work surface. The dough should come together easily and should not feel overly sticky. Using floured hands, fold the dough into itself until the flour is fully incorporated into the fats. Form it into a ball.
  • Using a rolling pin roll it out from side to side into a a giant round that can fit over your pie dish.
  • Carefully lift it up and place it over your pie dish, tucking it in along the sides of the pie dish to fit properly. Trim off any excess dough.
  • Place your pie crust into the fridge while you prepare your pie filling.

Filling

  • In a large bowl, whisk together chopped pecans, maple syrup, water, flaxmeal, vanilla extract and coconut oil. Place the bowl in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, until it thickens.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Pour the filling into the prepared crust. Arrange the pecan halves on top if desired.
  • Bake on the centre rack for 50 minutes. Turn the oven off and, with the door still cloves, leave the pie sit in the oven for an extra 10 minutes.
  • Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. The pie tastes best when chilled in the fridge overnight.
