Bourbon Pecan Pie Ingredients

• 3 large eggs
• 1 cup packed dark brown sugar
• 1 cup light corn syrup
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 3 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons bourbon
• 1 ¾ cups coarsely chopped pecans
• 1 pie crust

Bourbon Pecan Pie Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, beat eggs lightly. Add brown sugar, corn syrup, butter, vanilla and bourbon; stir until well blended. Add pecans and stir until combined. Pour into pie crust. Cover edges of pie crust with a pie shield or ring of foil (to keep the crust from over-browning). Bake for 25 minutes. Remove pie shield or foil. Bake for 30 more minutes. Cool before serving.
