Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. F.
  • Prepare the pie crust. If making your own. Roll out the dough and place in a 9" pie plate, crimp the edges. Make sure this is not a deep dish pie plate.
  • In a large bowl lightly beat the eggs, then add the sugar, corn syrup, melted butter, vanilla, bourbon, and salt; stir well until the mixture is combined.
  • Stir in the pecans then pour the mixture into the prepared pie crust.
  • Bake for 55-65 minutes. The pie should be almost completely set but still bounce bake in the center.
  • All the pie to cool for 2 hours on a wire rack. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt before serving, if desired.
  • Cover the pie with plastic wrap and store it in the refrigerator for up to three days.

Notes

You can make a homemade pie dough or a store-bought pie dough will work for this recipe.
As the pie bakes check the color to make sure it's not getting too dark.  You can cover the pie with a sheet of foil to keep it from getting too dark.
This pie can be made without the bourbon or you can substitute whiskey instead of bourbon.
I prefer using chopped pecans over whole pecans in this pie for easier cutting.  If you do buy whole pecans, chop them on a cutting board before adding them to the filling.
