Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 9-inch Pie crust (homemade or store-bought)
- 2 cups Pecans
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 cup Light corn syrup
- 1 cup Dark brown sugar
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Bourbon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Roll out the pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish, ensuring it is evenly pressed against the sides and bottom. Trim any excess crust and crimp the edges decoratively. Set aside.
Spread the pecans evenly over the bottom of the pie crust.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, light corn syrup, dark brown sugar, melted unsalted butter, vanilla extract, bourbon, and salt until smooth and well combined.
Pour the filling mixture over the pecans in the pie crust, ensuring the nuts are evenly distributed and submerged in the liquid.
Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips and transfer it to the oven.
Bake the pie for 50 minutes, or until the filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the center. The crust should be golden brown.
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack to set fully before slicing.
Serve as is or with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent finish. Enjoy!
