Kentucky Derby Bourbon Pecan Pie
Ingredients
  • 1 1/4 cups chopped pecans
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup light corn syrup
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted and cooled
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons bourbon
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 (9 inch) unbaked deep dish pie crust
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to the desired temperature of 300 degrees F (or 150 degrees C).
2
Spread pecans out on a baking tray, making sure they are evenly spread.
3
Place the pecans in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes to ensure even cooking. Continue baking until the pecans reach your desired level of toastiness.
4
Remove the pecans from the oven and let them cool down completely to room temperature. This step is crucial for achieving the perfect texture.
5
Simultaneously, increase your oven's temperature to 350 degrees F (or 175 degrees C).
6
Mix together the brown sugar, corn syrup, flour, butter, white sugar, eggs, bourbon, and vanilla extract in a bowl until you achieve a smooth consistency.
7
Fold in the cooled pecan pieces and chocolate chips into the mixture until they are well combined.
8
Pour the mixture into a pre-made pie crust and bake in the oven until it is set, taking anywhere from 50 to 60 minutes.
9
Serve your pecan pie warm or chilled, depending on your preference.
