Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 9-inch Pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Dark brown sugar
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 3 Large eggs
- 0.25 cup Bourbon
- 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Pecans, roughly chopped
- 1 cup Heavy cream (optional, for topping)
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for whipped cream topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Roll out the pie crust (if homemade) and place it into a 9-inch pie dish. Flute or trim the edges as desired.
In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, stir in the dark brown sugar, granulated sugar, and flour until smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, bourbon, vanilla extract, and salt.
Slowly add the slightly cooled butter-sugar mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to combine.
Stir in the chopped pecans, making sure they are evenly distributed in the filling mixture.
Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust and spread it out evenly.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for about 50 minutes or until the center is set and the top is golden brown. If the crust edges begin to brown too quickly, cover them with aluminum foil.
Once baked, remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack. This allows the filling to fully set.
For an optional topping, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form and serve alongside or on top of each slice.
