Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
-
To make the crust, in a bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the cold, cubed butter and work it into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. Shape the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
-
Roll out the dough on a floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Press the dough into the dish, crimp the edges, prick the bottom with a fork, and refrigerate while preparing the filling.
-
To make the caramel filling, combine sugar and water in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook until it turns a deep amber color. Remove from heat, add heavy cream, vanilla extract, and butter. Allow to cool slightly.
-
Lightly beat the eggs in a separate bowl. Slowly pour in the caramel mixture while stirring continuously. Arrange pecan halves in the pie crust, pour the caramel filling over them, and bake for 35-40 minutes or until set.
-
Cool the pie completely before serving.
