🥧 Bourbon Pecan Pie
A rich, gooey pecan filling with brown sugar, toasted pecans, and a splash of bourbon makes this a perfect fall dessert for Thanksgiving or holiday gatherings.
Ingredients
Pie
• 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust
• 1½ cups pecan halves
• 3 large eggs
• ¾ cup brown sugar
• ½ cup light corn syrup
• ¼ cup melted butter
• 2 tbsp bourbon
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• ¼ tsp cinnamon
• ¼ tsp salt
Optional Toppings
• Whipped cream
• Vanilla ice cream
• Extra toasted pecans
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 350°F. Fit the pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish and crimp the edges.
-
Spread the pecans evenly across the bottom of the prepared crust.
-
In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, brown sugar, corn syrup, melted butter, bourbon, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt until smooth.
-
Slowly pour the filling over the pecans.
-
Arrange a few extra pecan halves on top for a decorative finish.
-
Bake for 45–55 minutes, until the edges are set and the center still has a slight jiggle.
-
If the crust starts browning too quickly, loosely cover the edges with foil.
-
Remove from the oven and let the pie cool for at least 2 hours so the filling can fully set.
-
Slice and serve at room temperature or slightly warm.
🍂 Add whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for an extra-rich fall dessert.
