Step 1

Place the pie crust in a 9-inch pie pan. Flute the edges and place the crust in the freezer for at least 20 minutes. Let us stay there until the filling is ready.

Step 2

Preheat the oven to 375°. In a large bowl, combine the butter, brown sugar, and corn syrup. Add the eggs, bourbon, vanilla extract and salt. Mix until thoroughly combined.

Step 3

Stir the pecans into the filling and pour into the chilled pie crust.

Step 4

Bake for 15 minutes in the preheated oven before lowering the temp to 325°. Bake for an additional 45-60 minutes, until the center of the pie still has just a slight wobble to it but is almost completely set.

Step 5

Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a cooling rack.
