Ingredients
  

For the Crust
  • 1 cup All-purpose flour You can use gluten-free flour if desired.
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted butter (cold) Margarine can be used as a non-dairy alternative.
  • 1/4 cup Granulated sugar Coconut sugar can be used for a deeper flavor.
For the Filling
  • 1 cup Brown sugar (packed) Light brown sugar can be a great substitute.
  • 1 cup Heavy cream Coconut cream works for a non-dairy option.
  • 1 cup Chopped pecans (toasted) You can swap with walnuts or chocolate chips.
  • 3 large Large eggs Replace with flax eggs for a vegan option.
  • 1 pinch Salt Can be omitted for sodium-reduced diets.

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Tart Pan
  • Medium saucepan
  • wire rack

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and granulated sugar. Cut in the cold unsalted butter until it resembles coarse crumbs, then press into the bottom of a tart pan.
  2. Line the crust with parchment paper and fill it with pie weights. Bake for about 15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  3. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the packed brown sugar and heavy cream. Stir continuously for about 5 minutes until melted and smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk in the large eggs until well combined. Gently fold the toasted, chopped pecans into the cooled mixture.
  5. Pour the rich filling into the pre-baked crust. Bake for an additional 20-25 minutes until the tart is set but slightly jiggly in the center.
  6. Allow the tart to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.
