I've never had a better pecan pie in my life...and I'm not just saying that because this one is the one that I make. I found the recipe in a magazine many moons ago...Southern Living, I think, but am not 100% positive. I hope you're enjoy it too...
9" frozen pie crust (or make your own)
28 caramels
1/4 cup butter or margarine
1/4 cup water
3/4 cup sugar
2 large eggs
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup chopped pecans
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Prick holes in crust and bake for 6 to 8 minutes until lightly browned. Cool on wire rack.
Combine caramels, butter, and water in large saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until all are melted and mixture is smooth. Remove from heat.
Stir together sugar, eggs, salt, and extract until well mixed. Stir in pecans and pour into crust.
Bake at 400 for ten minutes, then reduce temperature to 350 and bake 20 more minutes, shielding edges of crust with aluminum foil to prevent excessive browning.
When done, remove pie to wire rack to cool.
Serve with ice cream, whip cream or plain. It's delicious any way you serve it.

This is one of my dad's favorite pies... I need to print this and make it for him. He would love it. (as would I). Thanks for posting it.
ReplyDeleteSounds YUMMY!! When do you stir the caramel mixture into the egg mixture? Or is it poured into the crust as a separate layer?
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting this, I just made a couple and everybody raved about it!
