Ingredients

• 1 9-inch Unbaked pie crust
• 2 cups Pecans
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Light corn syrup
• 1 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
• 3 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Bourbon
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon Bourbon (for crème)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll out the unbaked pie crust into a 9-inch pie pan and crimp the edges as desired. Set aside.

Step 2

Spread the pecans evenly over the bottom of the unbaked pie crust.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter. Stir in the light corn syrup, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is smooth. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.

Step 4

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, vanilla extract, and bourbon. Slowly pour the cooled butter mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to prevent scrambling.

Step 5

Pour the filling evenly over the pecans in the pie crust, ensuring they are well coated.

Step 6

Place the pie on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 50–55 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown. If the crust starts to brown too quickly, tent the edges with aluminum foil.

Step 7

While the pie is cooling, prepare the bourbon crème. In a small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon of bourbon until soft peaks form. Chill until ready to serve.

Step 8

Allow the pecan pie to cool completely at room temperature before slicing. Serve each slice with a generous dollop of bourbon crème.
