yields
Makes 1 pie
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
⅓ cup melted butter
¾ cup light corn syrup
½ teaspoon salt
3 eggs
1 pie crust
¾ cup white chocolate chips
1½ cups halved pecans (don’t use pieces)
ingredients
steps
- Position rack in bottom third of oven and preheat to 400 degrees.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together brown sugar, butter, corn syrup, salt, and eggs until well blended.
- Place pie crust into a 9-inch pie plate. Sprinkle white chocolate chips in an even layer over pie crust. Sprinkle pecans in an even layer over chips in a nice pattern. (They will rise to the top.)
- Give the filling a stir. Slowly pour filling over white chocolate chips and pecans, coating nuts with the mixture. Let sit without mixing ingredients together.
- Transfer pie plate to a baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes. Lower heat to 350 degrees and continue baking until crust is golden brown and filling is set around the edges with a slight jiggle in the center, about 45 to 50 minutes.
- Foil or tent pie at any point if crust is getting too dark. Transfer pie to a cooling rack and cool completely before serving, at least 2 hours.
