Create this rich gooey caramel pecan pie for your family and friends. It is a perfect special occasion pie. Ingredients:
1/2 (15-ounce) package refrigerated piecrusts |
28 caramels |
1/4 cup butter |
1/4 cup water |
3/4 cup sugar |
2 large eggs |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1 cup coarsely chopped pecans, toasted |
chocolate-dipped pecans (optional) |
Directions:
1. Fit piecrust into a 9-inch pie plate according to package directions; fold edges under, and crimp. Prick bottom and sides of piecrust with a fork.
2. Bake piecrust at 400° for 6 to 8 minutes or until lightly browned; cool on wire rack.
3. Combine caramels, butter, and 1/4 cup water in large saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly, 5 to 7 minutes or until caramels and butter are melted; remove from heat.
4. Stir together sugar and next 3 ingredients. Stir into caramel mixture until thoroughly combined. Stir in pecans. Pour into prepared crust.
5. Bake pie at 400° for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 350°, and bake 20 more minutes, shielding edges of crust with aluminum foil to prevent excessive browning. Remove pie to a wire rack to cool. Top with Chocolate-Dipped Pecans, if desired.
