Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece Pie crust (9-inch, unbaked)
- 1.5 cups Pecans (halved or chopped)
- 0.75 cups Honey
- 0.5 cups Light brown sugar
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 3 pieces Eggs (large)
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the unbaked 9-inch pie crust into a pie dish if not already prepared, and set it aside.
Spread the pecans evenly over the bottom of the pie crust.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the honey, light brown sugar, melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt until fully combined and smooth.
Pour the honey mixture over the pecans in the pie crust, ensuring the pecans are evenly distributed in the filling.
Carefully place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 45–50 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown. The filling will be slightly jiggly in the center but will firm up as it cools.
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely at room temperature, about 2–3 hours, before slicing.
Serve as is or with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
