Ingredients
Easiest Ever Pastry Dough
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 Tbsp. sugar
- 1/2 tsp. Kosher salt
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut up (1 stick)
- 1 Tbsp. distilled white vinegar
- 1 Tbsp. ice-cold water, plus 1 to 2 teaspoon if necessary
Sweet and Salted Caramel Nut Pie
- 4 cups mixed pecans, walnuts and hazelnuts, toasted
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 1/2 cup water
- 3 Tbsp. light corn syrup
- 6 Tbsp. unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- 1/2 tsp. Kosher salt
- 1 cup heavy cream
- Flaked sea salt, for serving
Directions
- Step 1Make Easiest Ever Pastry Dough.
- Step 2Make Pie: On lightly floured surface, roll dough into 13-inch circle. Fit dough into bottom and up side of 9-inch pie plate. If necessary, trim dough so overhang is even (about 1⁄2 inch from edge of rim). Fold overhang under itself and crimp as desired. Refrigerate until firm, at least 20 minutes.
- Step 3Heat oven to 375°F. Press large piece nonstick foil into dough in pie plate and fill with pie weights. Bake 15 minutes, then remove foil and continue baking until pastry feels sandy and just starts to turn golden, 5 to 10 minutes more. Transfer to cooling rack; place nuts in crust. Reduce heat to 350°F.
- Step 4Place sugar, water and corn syrup in heavy-bottomed medium saucepan. Without stirring, cook on medium-high until bubbles begin to form at edges, about 1 minute; swirl pan. Bring to a simmer, then increase heat to high and boil, swirling pan occasionally until mixture is a rich caramel color, 6 to 10 minutes. Immediately remove from heat, add butter and salt and swirl pan to melt.
- Step 5Return pan to medium, add cream (it will bubble up) and whisk until smooth, slightly thickened and a deep amber color, about 1 minute. Pour caramel over nuts; transfer pie to oven. Bake until gently bubbling, 10 to 15 minutes.
- Step 6Transfer to wire rack to cool. Sprinkle with flaked sea salt if desired.
