Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece Pie crust (9-inch, unbaked)
- 2 cups Pecans
- 0.5 cup Honey
- 0.5 cup Light corn syrup
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter
- 3 pieces Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Place the unbaked 9-inch pie crust in a pie dish and crimp the edges if desired. Set aside.
Roughly chop 1 cup of the pecans and leave the remaining 1 cup whole. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan, combine honey, light corn syrup, granulated sugar, and unsalted butter. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the butter is melted and the sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, vanilla extract, and salt.
Slowly add the slightly cooled honey mixture to the egg mixture, whisking continuously to combine. Be careful not to cook the eggs.
Scatter the chopped pecans over the bottom of the pie crust, then pour the filling evenly over them.
Arrange the whole pecans on top of the filling in a decorative pattern, if desired.
Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of brown sugar evenly over the top to create a caramelized crunch during baking.
Place the pie in the oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly puffed in the center.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack before serving. This allows the filling to firm up.
Serve slices at room temperature or slightly warmed, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
