Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, brown sugar, corn syrup, melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined. Stir in pecan halves. Pour the filling mixture over the pre baked pie crust. Bake for 45 50 minutes or until the center is set and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Allow the pie to cool completely on a wire rack. Drizzle caramel sauce over the top of the pie before serving.

Chef’s Insight

To prevent the crust from becoming soggy, be sure to pre-bake it before adding the filling.

Notes

For a more flavorful pie crust, try using a mix of gluten-free flours like almond flour and coconut flour.
