Your Thanksgiving Guests Will Go Crazy for This Cinnamon Bun Pecan Pie Recipe

Ingredients:

• pre-made pie crust
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1 cup dark corn syrup
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (not pictured — whoops!)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 Tablespoons ground cinnamon
• 4 eggs
• 1/2 cup butter
• 2 1/2 cups pecans

This pie crust may be my favorite thing of this year.

Instructions:

1. Unroll the pie crust and spread a handful of brown sugar and a dusting of cinnamon. Spread around the pie crust and roll back up.

2. Cut the crust into wheels and press into the bottom and edges of your pie pan.

3. Pierce edges slightly with a fork or knife.

4. Bake in a 350-degree-Fahrenheit oven for 15 minutes.

5. In a bowl, whisk together sugar, corn syrup, vanilla, salt and cinnamon.

6. In a separate bowl, whisk four eggs together and then pour into the sugary mixture. Stir until combined.

7. Brown the half cup of butter on the stove for 4-5 minutes. Add into the gooey mixture and stir 'til combined.

8. Top it off with two cups of pecans — we recommend leaving a half cup to decorate the top of the pie ;)

9. Pour it in and start to count down 'til you can indulge in this gooey goodness.

10. Use that extra half cup to decorate the top of the pie with a mandala pattern. Bake in a 350-degree-Fahrenheit oven for 50-60 minutes or until the pie has set. *Note — it will still be jiggly but firm ;)

11. Let the pie cool for 3-4 hours before slicing into it. It will smell delicious, so hold back that temptation.

Let’s dig in :)

Do you see that gooeyness?

I swear your holiday guests will go CRAZY over this pie. Enjoy!
