MAPLE PECAN PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Line a 9-inch pie pan with the pie crust. Place it on a sheet pan.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the corn syrup, honey, maple syrup, butter, eggs, bourbon, vanilla, orange zest and salt. Stir in the pecans and pour into the unbaked pie shell. Bake for 50 to 55 minutes, until the center is just set. Set aside to cool, and serve.

MAPLE PECAN PIE

Steps:

• Dough: Whisk together flour, granulated sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Add butter, tossing to evenly coat. Rub butter between fingers and thumbs, continuing to toss with flour until mixture has texture of coarse sand. Sprinkle evenly with ice water and stir with hands, gently kneading a few times, just until a dough forms. Flatten into a disk, wrap tightly in plastic wrap, and refrigerate until firm, at least 2 hours and up to 2 days.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to a 12-inch round. Transfer to a 9-inch pie dish. Trim excess, leaving a 1-inch overhang, then fold edges under. Crimp edges as desired. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet and freeze until firm, about 30 minutes.
• Filling: Meanwhile, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in brown sugar, syrup, and flour and cook, stirring constantly, just until mixture is smooth and thoroughly combined, about 1 minute. Let cool slightly, about 5 minutes. Whisk together milk, eggs, vanilla, and salt in a large bowl. Slowly add warm butter mixture, whisking constantly, until smooth. Pour filling into pie shell, then arrange pecans evenly on top.
• Bake until pie is puffed and set along edges but still wobbly in center when gently shaken, 1 to 1 1/4 hours. (Loosely tent pie with foil if top darkens too quickly.) Let cool completely on a wire rack before serving.

NEW ORLEANS CHOCOLATE BOURBON PECAN PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Beat the sugar, corn syrup, bourbon, eggs, butter, and salt together in a mixing bowl until smooth and creamy. Fold in the pecans and chocolate chips. Pour the mixture into the prepared pie crust. If desired, cover the edges of the pie with aluminum foil strips to prevent excessive browning.
• Bake in preheated oven until the center sets, about 50 minutes. Cool before serving.

ROYAL CROWN STRAWBERRY PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
• Unroll one pie crust onto a lightly floured surface. Remove bottom from springform pan and place on top of rolled out dough. Using a paring knife, cut a circle about 1" larger than the springform pan bottom. Attach the springform pan and place dough into the bottom. Press up the sides of the pan.
• Cut enough pieces of parchment about 4" wide to go around the springform pan.
• Unlatch the springform pan collar and place the parchment around the dough. Lock the latch back into place.
• Unroll the second pie crust and place the stencil on top. Trim with a paring knife. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat with remaining dough until you have enough to go all the way around the springform pan, about 27".
• Generously spray the parchment with nonstick spray and carefully place the crown cutouts around the inside of the pan. Be sure to overlap and press the pieces, trimming away the dough if needed. If the points fall, spray on more nonstick spray.
• Crinkle up enough aluminum foil to fill up the center of the crown and keep the points in place. Place on a sheet pan and place in the freezer for 30 minutes.
• Bake pie for 10 minutes until golden brown. Let cool completely. Carefully remove aluminum.
• Spray M&M's with gold edible spray. Spray crown completely with silver metallic spray. Transfer buttercream to a piping bag with a #823 star tip. Pipe a star onto a crown tip and press an M&M's into the center, repeating all the way around.
• For the filling: Measure 2 cups halved strawberries and place in a food processor. Pulse 2-3 times to crush the berries, but still leave them in medium pieces.
• In a medium saucepan over medium heat, whisk to combine sugar, cornstarch, water and lemon juice and stir in crushed berries. Bring liquid to a boil, stirring often, and cook until thickened, about 2 minutes. Add splash of elderflower cordial. Remove from heat and let cool about 20-30 minutes, then fold in remaining berries. Let cool completely then refrigerate for 3-4 hours or until set.
• Spoon strawberry filling into the cooled crust. In a large bowl, whisk heavy cream and confectioners sugar to stiff peaks. Spoon into center of pie and garnish with a small circle of strawberries, placing them into the whipped cream.
