Pecan Pie is one of my family’s favorite sweet treats for the fall season, especially on Thanksgiving. I have always made a delicious Pecan Pie, but this air fried one is the best so far! I’ve been making a lot of yummy air fired meals because I recently purchased a new air fryer.
This new air fryer is much bigger than the one I had, so it gives me a better opportunity at preparing delicious meals, plus its beautiful! I made this recipe twice, and the second one was just perfection. I did the trial and error so I could share this amazing Air Fried Pecan Pie.
Pecan Pie (A little history)
Pecan Pie is an American dessert that is said to have been originated in New Orleans by the French in the 1800s; however, the first ever written recipe was in a Texas Cookbook. Some also claim that it was originated in Alabama. The exact creation of this dish is not really known I would say, as there are many different narratives. One thing we can all agree on is that whoever created this dish is a genius, as this is one of the best desserts that our family look forward to every year for Thanksgiving.
Why Should You Put your Pecan Pie in the Air Fryer
I think it’s absolutely genius to put your pecan pie in the air fryer; not only does it makes it perfect, but it saves you tons of space for the turkey, mac and cheese and other dishes that needs to be in the oven. Thanksgiving is already a hectic day with all the prepping and cooking, so I’m all for anything that is going to save some time and energy.
The air fryer makes anything in a quicker time compared to the oven, so you’re guaranteed to have your pie ready in no time. With that said, I had to cover my pie halfway through as the pecans were getting a little too toasty ha-ha.
Why get the entire house hot by using the oven when you can just whip out your air fryer to do the same thing? Especially if you decide to make a pecan pie when it’s not the fall season where the time is cool.
Things Needed to Make The best Pecan Pie
Pecans: We definitely need Pecan, after all its pecan pie! ha-ha Any brand will work here
Pie Crust: As mentioned above, I used a premade pie crust for this recipe. Any brand will work here as well.
Corn Syrup: Adds the sweetness and thickness to the filling as well as preventing the sugars used from crystalizing. Dark or light corn syrup can be used, I use the dark corn syrup as that one is richer in flavor. If for some reason you are opposed to using corn syrup in your Pecan Pie, don’t worry. There are a few substitutions that will work just as good. Cane Sugar syrup, Maple Syrup (I use along with Corn Syrup), Brown Rice Syrup and the good old Honey that everyone has sitting in their cupboard.
Eggs- Acts as binder which brings the filling together. Can also be used to
Sugar- Of course for added sweetness, I use both brown and white sugar in this recipe. I think a balance of both sugar makes the perfect filling.Butter- Simply enriches the flavor of the Pecan Pie
Vanilla Extract, Cinnamon, Salt- Just a little of each of these ingredients goes a long way, so don’t underestimate the power of them.
