Ingredients
2 cups pecans, chopped coarsely
1 cup caramel sauce
1 teaspoon flaky sea salt
3 large eggs
4 tablespoons butter, melted and cooled
1 deep-dish pie crust
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Line your deep-dish pie pan with the prepared pie crust.
Drizzle one-half cup of caramel sauce evenly across the base of the crust.
Whisk the eggs in a large mixing bowl until fully combined.
Stir in the melted butter and the remaining caramel sauce.
Fold the chopped pecans into the liquid mixture until evenly coated.
Pour the pecan filling into the prepared crust carefully.
Bake the pie on the center rack for 50 minutes.
Remove the pie and sprinkle the flaky sea salt immediately over the top.
Notes
Toast your pecans in a dry pan for three minutes before adding them to the mixture for deeper flavor. Place a baking sheet on the bottom rack to catch any potential drips from the caramel during the baking process.
