Honey Pecan Pie image

This recipe adds a bit of natural sweetness to the Southern classic. I always feel that pecan pie never has enough pecans so I filled this one to the brim! Guaranteed to be a hit for Thanksgiving, you might have to make two.

Time 1h5m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 round refrigerated pie dough (half a 14-ounce package)
4 large eggs
1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1/4 cup honey
3 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
1 tablespoon honey whiskey
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
2 cups chopped raw pecans
3 tablespoons packed dark brown sugar
3 tablespoons honey
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 3/4 cup whole raw pecans

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • For the pie: Place the pie dough in a 9-inch pie dish and press it against the dish to remove any air pockets. Crimp the edges, as desired, and set aside.
  • Beat the eggs with the brown sugar in a medium bowl until the mixture begins to foam slightly. Whisk in the corn syrup, honey, melted butter, whiskey, vanilla and 3/4 teaspoon salt. Stir in the chopped pecans. Carefully pour into the prepared pie dish. Bake for 30 minutes
  • For the topping: Combine the brown sugar with the honey and butter in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the whole pecans, coating them evenly. Gently spoon the coated pecans over the pie and drizzle with any remaining syrup. Bake the pie until risen a bit and the pecans on top are crisp and caramelized, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature before serving.
