1
Prepare the Pie Crust
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll out the pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch tart pan. Trim any excess crust hanging over the edges. Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork and bake for about 10 minutes until lightly golden. Remove from oven and set aside to cool.
2
Make the Filling
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the brown sugar, corn syrup, and bourbon until well combined. Allow to cool slightly before whisking in the eggs, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
3
Assemble the Tart
Spread the pecan halves evenly over the baked pie crust. Pour the filling mixture over the pecans, ensuring they are evenly coated.
4
Bake the Tart
Bake the tart in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack.
5
Serve
Serve warm with a scoop of brandied pear gelato on top or on the side.
