INGREDIENTS
FOR THE CRUST
(Your favorite pie crust recipe for a 9-inch pie, homemade or store-bought)FOR THE FILLING
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup light corn syrup
- 1/2 cup Double Barrel Honey
- 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 3 large eggs, beaten
- 3 tablespoons bourbon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups pecan halver
INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare your pie crust according to your chosen recipe and pre-bake it if necessary (follow pie crust recipe instructions). Let the crust cool slightly.
- Make the filling: In a large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and salt.
- Incorporate wet ingredients: Stir in the corn syrup, Double Barrel Honey, melted butter, beaten eggs, bourbon, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Add pecans: Fold in the pecan halves gently.
- Pour and bake: Pour the filling into the cooled pie crust. Bake for 1 hour to 1 hour and 10 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. The edges will be golden brown.
- Cool and serve: Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy it with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for an extra decadent treat!
TIPS:
- Protect your crust: If the edges of your pie crust start to brown too quickly, cover them loosely with aluminum foil during baking.
- Test for doneness: Insert a toothpick near the center of the pie. If it comes out clean with a few moist crumbs, the pie is done.
- Double Barrel Honey magic: The unique flavor profile of Double Barrel Honey adds a touch of complexity to this classic pie. Experiment with different types of bourbon to further customize the taste.
