Bourbon-Pecan Pie

Not much

can be better than a pecan pie ~

unless it’s a pecan pie with a healthy splash of 

bourbon!

You can overwhelm a recipe by using too much liquor, just a touch intensifies flavors; moreover, using a less-expensive bourbon that has not aged, will make your pie filling thin instead of deep and complex.  

The rich nutty flavor of pecans, the buttery distinction of dark caramel, and the spicy woody taste of bourbon, make this pie a rich delicious experience that’s a great finish to any meal or treat any time of the day.

This is a great recipe for one of my favorite pies!

A perfect Thanksgiving Dinner Dessert, but I’m saving a slice for breakfast…

Stir in remaining ingredients and pour into unbaked pie shell.
Line pie crust edge with foil, if needed to prevent excessive browning.
