No one who cooks, cooks alone. Even at her most solitary, a cook in the kitchen is surrounded by generations of cooks past, the advice of cooks present and the wisdom of cookbook writers.

There’s nothing wrong with regular pecan pie. But add some chocolate, and you have got a downright delightful flavor!
For the crust:
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter cut into 8 tablespoons, keep cold
2 large egg yolks
About 4 to 6 tablespoons ice water
For the filling:
1 cup pecan halves, lightly toasted
3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup chopped apples
3 large eggs plus 2 large egg yolks, lightly beaten
1 cup dark corn syrup
1 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons Kentucky bourbon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the vanilla whipped cream
1 pint cold heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1. For the crust: Combine flour, salt, and butter in a medium bowl. Using a pastry blender or your fingers, cut butter into flour until mixture resembles fine cornmeal, about 5 minutes.
2. Mix egg yolks with 2 tablespoons of the ice water until evenly combined. Add to flour mixture a little at a time, stirring in until dough can be formed into a ball. (Add additional ice water if necessary, but do not overwork the dough or it will become tough.) Shape dough into a flat disk, cover in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
3. Lightly flour a work surface and roll out dough into a round that is roughly 12 inches in diameter and 1/4 inch thick. Line a 9-inch pie plate with dough, trimming excess flush to the edge of the pie plate.
4. For the filling: Heat oven and arrange the oven rack to the middle. Scatter pecans, apples and chocolate chips evenly over the bottom of pie crust. Stir together eggs, corn syrup, sugar, butter, bourbon, and vanilla extract until well blended, then pour into crust.
5. Bake apple pecan chocolate pie until a knife inserted halfway between the center and the edge comes out clean, about 50 to 55 minutes. Remove pie from oven and place on a rack to cool. Serve apple pecan chocolate pie warm or at room temperature with generous dollops of vanilla whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
6. For the vanilla whipped cream . Combine heavy cream and vanilla extract in a large bowl. Using the whisk attachment on your mixer, whisk until soft peaks form, being careful not to over whip.
