Ingredients

• 1 9-inch Pie crust (homemade or store-bought)
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 3 quarters cup Light corn syrup
• 3 Large eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Kosher salt
• 1 cup Pecans, roughly chopped
• 1 cup Roasted salted peanuts
• 0 Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

Roll out your pie crust and carefully fit it into a 9-inch pie pan. Trim and crimp the edges as desired. Place the crust in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the filling.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the brown sugar and light corn syrup until the mixture is smooth and combined.

Step 4

Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture cool slightly. Once lukewarm, whisk in the eggs, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.

Step 5

Fold in the chopped pecans and roasted peanuts, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

Step 6

Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading the nuts evenly.

Step 7

Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any potential drips and bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and allow the pie to cool completely on a wire rack, about 2 hours. The filling will firm up as it cools.

Step 9

Slice and serve with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.
