How To Make This Pie Ahead Of Time And Freeze

This recipe is super easy to double and these pies freeze beautifully. I don’t know about you but I love having something sweet stored away in my freezer!

Bake the pie according to the directions and let it cool completely. Wrap it tightly with plastic wrap then slide it into a zip-top bag. Freeze for up to 3 months. When you are ready to enjoy, place the pie in the refrigerator, let thaw then serve.

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Place pecans on a baking sheet and toast for 3-4 minutes until brown. Remove from oven and let cool.
  • In a medium-size saucepan, over medium heat, melt butter. Add brown sugar and maple syrup and stir until smooth. Bring the mixture up to a simmer then remove from heat. Place in a bowl to cool for 10 minutes.
  • Whisk eggs and add to the butter-sugar mixture. Add in bourbon, vanilla, and salt whisking together until well blended. Pour mixture into uncooked pie shell. Place toasted pecans on top of the sugar fulling. Place pie on a baking sheet. Lightly spray a piece of foil with cooking spray and place over pie. Bake pie in the oven for 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes until the edges of the pie are set. The center will be slightly jiggly but will set when cooled.
  • Remove pie from oven and place on a wire rack to cool. Sprinkle with flakey sea salt. Best served at room temperature.
