How to Make Praline Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Brush the Nilla Wafer pie crust with 1 large egg white, ensuring it's evenly coated.
  3. Spread 1 cup pecan halves on a baking sheet with sides.
  4. Place the prepared crust and pecans on the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake for 5 minutes.
  5. While the crust and pecans bake, melt 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter in a microwave-safe bowl.
  6. In a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, 1 cup packed light brown sugar, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, and 1 teaspoon baking powder. Mix on medium speed until well combined.
  7. Add 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
  8. Gently stir in 3/4 cup of the toasted pecans.
  9. The mixture will be thick. Pour into the prepared Nilla Wafer crust.
  10. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup toasted pecans over the top.
  11. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 30-35 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is lightly golden brown.
  12. Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before refrigerating.
  13. Once completely chilled, top with whipped cream and serve. Enjoy!
  14. Store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
