Method
Preparation Steps
Make the Salted Caramel
In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the granulated sugar and corn syrup, stirring until the mixture is smooth. Allow it to boil for about 5 minutes without stirring, then carefully add the heavy cream. Stir until combined and bring it back to a gentle simmer for another 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the sea salt.
Combine the Filling Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and vanilla extract. Gradually add the warm caramel mixture, whisking continuously to prevent the eggs from scrambling. Fold in the pecan halves until evenly coated.
Assemble the Pie
Pour the pecan and caramel filling into the pre-baked pie crust, spreading it evenly.
Bake the Pie
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown. Remove from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack.
Serve
Once cooled, slice the pie and serve. Optionally, drizzle additional salted caramel on top before serving.
