Ingredients

  • 1 cup 120g/4oz pecans, coarsely chopped
  • 2 tablespoon corn flour
  • 220 g 8oz brown sugar
  • 60 g 2oz butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoon cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 eggs
  • 40 g 1oz whole pecans extra
  • 2 tablespoon apricot jam warmed, sieved
  • 1 sheet of shortcrust pastry

Instructions

  • Grease 24cm loose-based flan tin and carefully line the tin with the pastry. Press it into the base and sides, trim it and fill in any gaps with the excess.
  • Preheat the oven to 160C/320F fan-forced.
  • Line pastry with baking paper then fill it with, pastry weights, dried beans or rice. I used rice. Bake the shell for 12 minutes then remove the paper and weights and bake it for another 5 minutes.
  • Set it aside on a wire rack to cool.
  • Reduce the oven temperature to 140C/290F fan-forced.
  • Combine the chopped nuts and cornflour in a big bowl. Stir in the sugar, butter, cream, vanilla and eggs until well combined. Pour the filling into the pastry shell and decorate with the whole nuts.
  • Bake the pie for 45 minutes or until it feels firm in the middle.
  • Cool the pie in the tin.
  • When the pie is cool, heat the jam and strain it then glaze the pie with the hot jam.
