Classic Pecan Pie

This Classic Pecan Pie is everything you love about the classic dessert—tender, crunchy pecans, a flaky crust, and a gooey brown sugar filling—without the corn syrup! Sweetened with honey and pure maple syrup, and enriched with a hint of bourbon, this pie is the perfect way to end your holiday meal or special occasion.

Ingredients:

• 3 large eggs
• 1/2 cup dark brown sugar (loosely packed)
• 1/3 cup honey
• 1/3 cup pure maple syrup
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted)
• 2 tablespoons bourbon whiskey (optional)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 1/2 cups pecan pieces
• 1/2 batch Perfect Pie Crust from Scratch (prepared and chilled)
• 1/3 cup pecan halves (for garnish)

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, brown sugar, honey, maple syrup, melted butter, bourbon (if using), vanilla, and salt until smooth.
3. Stir in the pecan pieces and pour the filling into the prepared pie crust.
4. Garnish with pecan halves and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the filling is set.
5. Let the pie cool for at least 1 hour before slicing.
