Indulge in the rich, caramel-like decadence of a Pecanless Pie, a delightful twist on the classic pecan pie that skips the nuts but keeps all the flavor. This silky dessert features a luscious filling made from brown sugar, corn syrup, melted butter, and a hint of vanilla for a perfectly balanced sweetness. Its smooth texture is achieved with a touch of heavy cream and flour, creating a custard-like consistency that pairs beautifully with a flaky, golden pie crust. Easy to prepare and ready in just over an hour, this nut-free pie is an excellent choice for those with allergies or anyone looking for a simplified take on a holiday favorite. Serve it plain or with a dollop of whipped cream or scoop of vanilla ice cream to elevate this crowd-pleasing treat even further. Perfect for Thanksgiving, potlucks, or any dessert craving!
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Place the pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish and crimp the edges as desired. Set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, granulated sugar, and melted butter until smooth.
Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition.
Stir in the corn syrup, vanilla extract, flour, and heavy cream. Mix until the filling is fully combined and smooth.
Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
Place the pie dish on a baking sheet to catch any potential drips and transfer it to the preheated oven.
Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until the filling is set but still slightly jiggles in the center when gently shaken.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours to allow the filling to fully set.
Serve slices as-is or with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra special treat. Enjoy!
