Ingredients

1 medium pie crust unbaked 9-inch
1 cup corn syrup light or dark
1 cup brown sugar packed
3 large eggs free range
1/3 cup unsalted butter melted
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups pecans halves
1 tbsp bourbon or dark chocolate chips optional

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F). Place the unbaked pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish.
1 medium pie crust
Prepare the filling by whisking together the corn syrup, brown sugar, eggs, melted butter, vanilla extract and salt in a large bowl until smooth. If using bourbon or chocolate chips, mix them in now.
1 cup corn syrup, 1 cup brown sugar, 3 large eggs, 1/3 cup unsalted butter, 1 tsp vanilla extract, 1/4 tsp salt, 1 tbsp bourbon
Add the pecans into the pie crust, and pour the filling mixture over them. The pecans will rise to the top.
1 1/2 cups pecans
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown. If the crust browns too quickly, cover it with foil.
Cool the pie on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before serving, allowing the filling to fully set.
