Ingredients

• 1 piece Pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Light brown sugar
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt
• 2 cups Pecans (roughly chopped and whole for decoration)
• 3 pieces Large eggs
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and place the pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish. Crimp the edges and refrigerate while preparing the filling.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, stir in the light brown sugar and cook for 2-3 minutes until the mixture is smooth and bubbly.

Step 3

Slowly whisk in the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Reduce the heat to low and let simmer for about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 4

In a medium mixing bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar until smooth. Add the flour and whisk to combine.

Step 5

Gradually stir the cooled caramel mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to avoid scrambling the eggs.

Step 6

Add the chopped pecans to the pie crust, spreading them out evenly. Pour the caramel mixture over the pecans, ensuring they are fully covered.

Step 7

Decorate the top with whole pecans, if desired, for a decorative pattern.

Step 8

Place the pie on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is set and the pecans are lightly toasted. The center should jiggle slightly but not be runny.

Step 9

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack before slicing to allow the filling to set.

Step 10

Serve at room temperature or slightly warmed with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
