Ingredients:

3/4 cup sugar

1/2 cup dark corn syrup

2 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into cubes

1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1 1/2 teaspoons bourbon

1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

2 large eggs

Cooking spray

1 sheet refrigerated pie dough (half of a 15-ounce package)

1 cup pecan pieces

Whipped cream, for serving (optional)

Directions:

To make the pecan pies, start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees F. In a saucepan over medium heat, stir sugar and corn syrup until the sugar melts. Remove from heat and add butter, stirring gently with a rubber spatula to prevent foaming. Add vanilla, bourbon, and salt, and stir again. In a separate bowl, whisk eggs and gradually add the sugar mixture, whisking until incorporated. Lightly mist four 4-inch individual pie pans with cooking spray, and press the pie dough into each pan, crimping the edges with your fingers. Place the pans on a baking sheet, divide the pecans evenly among them, and pour the filling on top. Bake the pies for about 45 minutes or until they are golden and firm. Afterward, cool the pies completely on a rack and remove them carefully from the pans. You can serve the pies with whipped cream.
