A rich and decadent pecan praline pie with a buttery crust and sweet, nutty filling.

Ingredients

Crust

  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (plus extra for dusting)
  • 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar (firmly packed)
  • 1/3 teaspoon salt
  • 8 tablespoons unsalted butter (cut into 1/4-inch pieces and chilled)

Filling

  • 1/4 cup dark brown sugar (firmly packed)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup dark corn syrup
  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 to 4 tablespoons bourbon or liquor of your choice
  • 2 cups whole pecans (toasted, cooled, and broken into small pieces)

Additional Butter

  • 8 tablespoons unsalted butter (cut into 1/4-inch pieces and chilled)
  • 3 to 4 tablespoons ice water

Instructions 

  • Prepare the crust by mixing flour, dark brown sugar, and salt. Cut in chilled butter until crumbly, then add ice water to form dough. Chill and roll out.
  • Pre-bake the crust at 375°F (190°C) for 15 minutes.
  • Mix brown sugar, salt, eggs, corn syrup, vanilla, bourbon, and pecans to make the filling. Pour into the pre-baked crust.
  • Bake the pie at 350°F (175°C) for 30-35 minutes until set.
  • Let cool before serving. Optional: garnish with whipped cream or additional pecans.

Notes

For best flavor, toast pecans before adding to the filling.
