How to Make Honey Crunch Pecan Pie
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- **Make the crust:** In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups flour and 1 teaspoon salt. Cut in 1 cup shortening until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add 1/2 cup ice water and 1 tablespoon vinegar, mixing until the dough just comes together. Form into a ball, lightly flour, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 20 minutes.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to an 1/8-inch thickness between two sheets of wax paper. Carefully transfer the dough to a 9-inch pie plate.
- **Make the filling:** In a large bowl, whisk together 3 large eggs, 1/4 cup packed brown sugar, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 cup light corn syrup, 1/2 cup melted butter, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 cup chopped pecans, and 1 tablespoon bourbon (if using).
- Pour the filling into the unbaked pie crust.
- Bake for 15 minutes.
- Cover the edges of the crust with aluminum foil to prevent over-browning.
- Continue baking for 20 minutes.
- **Make the topping:** In a small saucepan, combine 1/3 cup packed brown sugar, 2 tablespoons butter, and 1/4 cup honey. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves (about 2 minutes). Stir in 1 cup chopped pecans until coated.
- Spread the pecan topping evenly over the pie.
- Return to the oven, keeping the foil on the edges, and bake for another 10-20 minutes, or until the topping is bubbly and golden brown.
- Let the pie cool completely to room temperature before serving. Enjoy!
