Shortcut Pecan Pie
This Shortcut Pecan Pie gets a helping hand from a flavorful secret ingredient: jarred salted caramel sauce! The salted caramel sauce adds tremendous gooey, buttery caramel flavor to this pie.
Servings: 8
Ingredients
- One 9" deep dish frozen pie crust
- One (12-ounce jar) salted caramel sauce plus more for drizzling, if desired
- 3 large eggs
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 cups chopped pecans
- Ice cream or fresh whipped cream for serving optional but recommended
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Place the pie crust on a rimmed baking sheet that's been lined with foil in case of any spillover in the baking process.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the salted caramel sauce, eggs, brown sugar, whipping cream, vanilla, and salt until smooth. Add in the chopped pecans and mix to combine. Pour the pecan mixture evenly into the pie crust. Tent the edges of the pie crust with a pie shield or foil to prevent them from cooking and browning too quickly while the rest of the pie bakes.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the center is just about set and no longer jiggles when gently shaken. Cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
- Serve with ice cream or fresh whipped cream and additional caramel sauce.
