Recipe Summary
- Prep Time: 20 minutes
- Cook Time: 50 minutes
- Total Time: 1 hour 10 minutes
- Servings: 8
- Skill Level: Intermediate
Ingredients
- 1 pie crust (homemade or store-bought)
- 1 cup pecan halves
- 1 cup dark corn syrup
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup Crown Royal Whiskey
- 1/2 cup salted caramel sauce
- Sea salt flakes, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll out the pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim and crimp the edges as desired.
- Scatter the pecan halves evenly across the bottom of the pie crust.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the dark corn syrup, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well-blended.
- Add the eggs, vanilla extract, and salt to the mixture and whisk until smooth.
- Gently stir in the Crown Royal Whiskey and the salted caramel sauce until fully incorporated.
- Pour the filling over the pecans in the pie crust.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown. If the crust starts to brown too quickly, cover the edges with foil to prevent burning.
- Remove from the oven and allow the pie to cool completely before slicing. This will ensure the filling sets properly.
- Before serving, drizzle additional salted caramel sauce over the top and sprinkle with sea salt flakes for an extra touch of flavor.
Helpful Tips
- To make this recipe easier for beginners, you can use a pre-made pie crust instead of making one from scratch.
- If you don’t have Crown Royal Whiskey on hand, substitute with another type of whiskey or even bourbon.
- This pie can be stored at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerated for up to a week. Simply cover it with plastic wrap or foil to keep it fresh.
Pairings
This decadent pie pairs beautifully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. For a delightful beverage pairing, consider serving it with a hot cup of coffee or a chilled glass of bourbon on the rocks.
