bourbon pecan pie

i made this for a mixer, two people asked me for the recipe, so i figured it was good enough to share.....


i make my own crust with flour, butter, salt, ice water, but you can use frozen, it's easier.


preheat oven to 350. while it's heating up, put pecans and/or walnuts on a pan and toast them a bit to bring out the oils and flavors. don't burn them. usually by the time the oven is ready, the nuts are ready.

mix 1 cup packed brown sugar, 3/4 cup pure maple syrup, 3/4 stick butter (melted and cool), 3 eggs, 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and a few splashes of bourbon (about 3 tablespoons).

put bittersweet chocolate chips and chopped toasted nuts in pie crust. add filling. bake about 45 minutes. it will be puffy. it will deflate as it cools.
