Ingredients:

  • 1 unbaked pie shell (8-1/2 inch to 9 inch)
  • 1/2 cup pecan pieces
  • 3 eggs
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup corn syrup
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 tbsp bourbon (optional)
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1 cup pecan halves

Directions:

  1. Dry roast the 1/2 cup of pecan pieces in a 300 degree F oven until dark; keep an eye on them so they don't burn, though. I start checking after 5 minutes and check frequently after that. When they're dark, transfer pecan pieces to a cutting board or plate and crush a little until they're in very small pieces. Set aside.
  2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  3. Beat eggs in a large bowl until frothy. Add sugar, brown sugar, corn syrup, butter, vanilla extract, bourbon (if using), salt and reserved roasted pecan pieces. Combine thoroughly then stir in the 1 cup of unroasted pecan halves.
  4. Pour mixture into an unbaked prepared pie shell, place pan on a baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees F for about 40 minutes.
  5. Reduce oven heat to 325 degrees F and bake until filling is browned on top and crust is lightly browned; start checking after about 30 minutes in the oven.
  6. Remove from oven and allow to cool thoroughly before serving.
