Ingredients

• 1 piece Unbaked 9-inch pie crust
• 1.5 cups Pecans
• 0.25 cups Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Brown sugar
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.75 cups Corn syrup (light or dark)
• 2 tablespoons Bourbon
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 3 large Eggs
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the unbaked pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish and set it aside.

Step 2

Roughly chop half of the pecans and leave the other half whole. Set aside.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the brown sugar, granulated sugar, and salt until well combined.

Step 4

Add the corn syrup, bourbon, and vanilla extract to the butter and sugar mixture. Stir until smooth.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Slowly add the warm butter-sugar mixture to the eggs, a little at a time, whisking constantly to avoid cooking the eggs.

Step 6

Arrange the chopped pecans evenly over the bottom of the pie crust. Pour the filling mixture on top, spreading it evenly. Then, arrange the whole pecans decoratively on the surface of the filling.

Step 7

Carefully place the pie dish on the center rack of the preheated oven. Bake for 50 to 55 minutes, or until the filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the center (it will set further as it cools).

Step 8

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack before serving. This will take about 2 to 3 hours.

Step 9

Slice and serve as is or with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for added indulgence.
