This Easy Bourbon Pecan Pie combines the rich, nutty sweetness of pecans with the smooth, caramel flavor of bourbon. Perfectly baked in a flaky crust, it’s a Southern classic made simple — ideal for Thanksgiving, Christmas, or any special occasion.

Ingredients

For the crust (or use store-bought):

  • 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ cup (1 stick) cold butter, cut into cubes
  • 3–4 tbsp ice water

For the filling:

  • 1 cup light corn syrup
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 tbsp melted unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp bourbon (or to taste)
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 ½ cups pecan halves

Instructions

For Crust (or can use store-bought, skip this)

  • Mix the flour and salt in a bowl.
  • Cut in cold butter with a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs.
  • Add ice water gradually, 1 tbsp at a time, just until the dough holds together.
  • Shape the dough into a disc, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for 30 minutes
  • Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim and crimp the edges

For Filling, To Assemble and Bake

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a large bowl, whisk together corn syrup, brown sugar, eggs, melted butter, bourbon, vanilla, and salt until smooth.
  • Stir in the pecan halves until evenly coated.
  • Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust.
  • Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown. If the crust starts browning too quickly, cover the edges with foil halfway through baking.
  • Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.
