Ingredients

For the Crust:

  • 2 cups almond flour
  • 3 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon erythritol
  • A pinch of salt

For the Filling:

  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 3/4 cup erythritol
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, melted butter, erythritol, and a pinch of salt. Stir until the mixture is well combined and resembles a coarse sand.
  • Transfer the mixture to a 9-inch pie dish. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of the dish to form the crust.
  • Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, until it starts to turn golden. Remove and set aside.
  • While the crust is baking, prepare the filling. Start by melting the butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
  • Add the erythritol to the melted butter and stir until it's completely dissolved.
  • Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it cool slightly. Then, whisk in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract and salt.
  • Stir in the chopped pecans, making sure they are evenly distributed in the mixture.
  • Pour the pecan mixture over the pre-baked crust.
  • Return the pie to the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is a deep golden brown.
  • Let the pie cool completely before slicing. This will help the filling set and make the pie easier to slice.
