Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Coconut oil, solid
• 3 tablespoons Cold water
• 1 cup Brown sugar
• 0.5 cup Corn syrup
• 0.25 cup Dairy-free margarine
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 3 Eggs
• 2 cups Pecan halves

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Add the solid coconut oil and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend until the mixture resembles a coarse meal.

Step 3

Gradually add the cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just holds together.

Step 4

Form the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.

Step 5

Roll out the dough on a floured surface to fit a 9-inch tart pan. Transfer the dough to the pan, pressing it into the bottom and up the sides. Trim any excess dough.

Step 6

In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the brown sugar, corn syrup, and dairy-free margarine. Stir constantly until the margarine melts, then remove from heat.

Step 7

Stir in the vanilla extract. Allow the mixture to cool slightly.

Step 8

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs lightly. Gradually add the cooled syrup mixture to the eggs, whisking constantly to combine.

Step 9

Place the pecan halves in a single layer on the bottom of the prepared tart crust.

Step 10

Pour the syrup mixture over the pecans.

Step 11

Bake the tart in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the filling is set.

Step 12

Remove from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
