How to Make Pecan Pie

corn syrup

🥗Healthier: maple syrup

💰Cheaper: honey

Maple syrup offers a natural sweetness with a different flavor profile.

butter

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Coconut oil is a healthier fat alternative.

pie crust

🥗Healthier: whole wheat pie crust

💰Cheaper: store-bought pie crust

Whole wheat crust adds fiber and nutrients.

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

Combine the melted butter, corn syrup, eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract in a mixing bowl and stir until everything is well mixed.

Add bourbon and chocolate chips, and reduce the corn syrup to ½ cup to make a twist on a traditional pecan pie.

Stir the chopped pecans into the bowl, ensuring they are completely coated with the butter mixture.

Pour the mixture into the pie crust and use the back of a spoon to smooth out the top of your pie.

Cover the edges of the pie crust with aluminum foil if the edges begin to brown too quickly.

Bake the pie in the preheated oven for one hour, or until the pie is set.

Tap the center of the top of the pie lightly with your finger to see if it's set; if it springs back, it's done.

Remove the pie from the oven and place it on a wire rack.

Let it cool for two hours before serving.
