In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract for the crust. Mix until well combined.
Press the mixture into a 9-inch pie dish and bake for 8-10 minutes or until lightly golden brown.
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, erythritol, melted butter, vanilla extract, and chopped pecans.
Pour the filling mixture into the pre-baked crust and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the filling has set.
Allow cooling for at least 30 minutes before serving.

SUBSTITUTIONS

Erythritol can be substituted with a low-carb sweetener of your choice.
Butter can be substituted with coconut oil or ghee.

VARIATIONS

Add spices such as cinnamon or nutmeg to the filling mixture for added flavor.

EQUIPMENT

9-inch pie dish
Mixing bowls
Whisk
Measuring cups and spoons

Tips:

To ensure the crust is evenly pressed into the pie dish, use a flat-bottomed glass or measuring cup to help press down the mixture.
For a crispier crust, bake the crust for a longer period of time before adding the filling.
Make sure the filling is completely set before removing it from the oven to avoid any slippage.

Food Safety:

Store leftover pecan pie in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
To freeze, wrap the pie in plastic wrap or aluminum foil and store it in the freezer for up to 3 months.
When reheating, make sure to heat the pie until it is completely heated through to avoid any risk of foodborne illness.
