corn syrup

🥗Healthier: maple syrup

💰Cheaper: honey

Maple syrup offers a more natural sweetness and is often considered healthier.

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 the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Blind bake the pie crust with pie weights and parchment paper for 20 minutes, then remove weights and bake for another 10 minutes.

Toast pecans in the oven for 7 minutes while the crust is baking.

In a saucepan, melt 1 stick of butter and add white sugar, light brown sugar, corn syrup, flour, almond milk, salt, and bourbon.

Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring with a whisk.

Once boiling, remove from heat and let cool for 5-10 minutes.

Whisk 3 large eggs in a bowl, then slowly drizzle in the cooled sugar mixture, stirring constantly to avoid scrambling the eggs.

Add pecan halves to the pre-baked pie shell, then pour the filling over the pecans, ensuring they are evenly coated.

Bake the pie in the oven for 40-45 minutes until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.

Let the pie cool completely before slicing.
