Ingredients
- Pastry dough
- ¾ stick non-dairy butter
- 1¼ cups packed coconut sugar
- ¾ cup brown rice syrup
- 2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon grated orange zest
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 tbsp flax meal + 6 tbsp warm water
- 2 cups pecan halves (1/2 pound)
- 10 saltines, crumbled
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F with a baking sheet on middle rack.
- If using a store-bought dough, roll it out on a lightly floured surface with a lightly floured rolling pin into a 12-inch round and fit into a 9-inch pie plate. Trim edge, leaving a ½-inch overhang. Fold overhang under and lightly press against rim of pie plate, then crimp decoratively. Lightly prick bottom all over with a fork.
- Chill until firm, at least 30 minutes (or freeze 10 minutes).
- If using a store-bought shell, thaw for 15 minutes and pierce shell with fork all over.
- Preheat oven to 375F, and cook empty shell for 12 minutes. Set aside.
- Meanwhile, melt butter in a small heavy saucepan over medium heat.
- Add coconut sugar, whisking until smooth.
- Remove from heat and whisk in brown rice syrup, crackers, vanilla, zest, and salt. Lightly mix flax meal in a medium bowl, then whisk in brown rice syrup mixture.
- Put pecans in pie shell and pour brown rice syrup mixture evenly over them.
- Bake pie sitting on baking sheet until filling is set, 50 minutes to 1 hour.
- Cool completely.
