This gluten free recipe for pecan pie is incredibly sweet and delicious. Don't be intimidated about making homemade pie crust. A food processor makes the task fast and easy- just keep your butter or shortening chilled and use ice water.

The rich pecan filling is mixed in a blender, making this a fast and easy favorite.

Tip - An 8 or 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom makes a nice-looking crimped crust and makes cutting pies easy too.

  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

  3. Pour filling into prepared pie crust and place remaining pecan halves around the top of the filling.
