How to Make Butterscotch Pecan Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs until lightly beaten.
  3. Add 1 cup packed light brown sugar, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk, 1 cup corn syrup, 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter (melted), 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Whisk until well combined.
  4. Stir in 2 cups pecan halves.
  5. Pour the filling into your favorite 9-inch unbaked pie crust.
  6. Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until the center is just set and the edges are golden brown. If the crust starts to brown too quickly, cover the edges with aluminum foil.
  7. Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack. This allows the filling to set properly.
  8. Once completely cool, decorate the edge of the pie with rosettes of whipped cream before serving. Enjoy!
