Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Almond flour
• 0.25 cups Unsalted butter, melted
• 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar substitute (e.g., erythritol or monk fruit sweetener)
• 1 Egg
• 2 cups Pecans, chopped (for filling)
• 0.5 cups Pecans, halved (for topping)
• 0.5 cups Butter
• 1 cup Brown sugar substitute
• 0.5 cups Heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 3 Eggs, lightly beaten

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine almond flour, melted butter, granulated sugar substitute, and 1 egg. Mix until a dough forms.

Step 3

Press the dough evenly into a 9-inch pie pan to form the crust. Use a fork to pierce small holes in the bottom to prevent bubbling.

Step 4

Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then remove and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 5

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt 0.5 cups of butter. Stir in the brown sugar substitute and heavy cream, and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens slightly.

Step 6

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in vanilla extract. Let cool for 5 minutes.

Step 7

In a large mixing bowl, whisk the 3 beaten eggs. Slowly add the slightly cooled caramel mixture, whisking constantly to avoid cooking the eggs.

Step 8

Stir in the 2 cups of chopped pecans until evenly combined.

Step 9

Pour the filling into the prepared crust. Arrange the 0.5 cups of pecan halves decoratively on top.

Step 10

Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the filling is set and the pecans are golden.

Step 11

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely before slicing. Serve and enjoy your Sugar-Free Pecan Pie Yum!
