How to Make Bourbon Pecan Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Toast 1 cup pecan halves on a baking sheet for 8-10 minutes, or until fragrant and lightly browned. Let cool slightly.
  2. Finely chop 1/2 cup of the toasted pecans. Set aside the remaining pecan halves for garnish.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar, and 1/2 cup (1 stick) melted unsalted butter until smooth.
  4. Add 1/2 cup light corn syrup, 3 large eggs, 2 tablespoons bourbon, and the 1/2 cup chopped pecans to the bowl. Whisk until thoroughly combined.
  5. Pour half of the pecan mixture into an unbaked 9-inch pie crust.
  6. Arrange the remaining toasted pecan halves evenly over the filling.
  7. Pour the remaining pecan mixture over the pecan halves.
  8. Bake for 10 minutes at 375°F (190°C). Reduce oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for an additional 45-55 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown. A knife inserted near the center should come out with moist crumbs attached.
  9. Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
