- Ingredients:
- 1 pie crust, homemade or store-bought (plus extra dough for decorating, optional)
- 1 1/2 cups brown sugar
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted and browned (optional)
- 3 large eggs
- 1 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 1/2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups pecans, plus extra for garnish
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375ยบ F and roll out pie crust to a 12 or 13-inch circle, big enough to fit a springform pan or tart or pie dish.
Gently place dough in pan, pressing into the bottom and sides of the pan and trimming excess.
Optional: cut out pie dough flowers or other designs to decorate crust later.
Place pie dish in the fridge until ready to fill.
In a large bowl, beat eggs until foamy and fluffy, then beat in browned butter.
Once combined, beat in brown and white sugar until sugar granules are dissolved.
Sprinkle in flour, cinnamon, and salt, then stir in heavy cream and vanilla extract.
Once fully incorporated, fold in pecans, then pour the mixture into the pie crust.
Decorate pie crust with any pecans or cutouts you made earlier.
Place pie pan in oven and bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the center is just set and no longer jiggly.
Remove from the oven and let cool completely before serving.
