Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C) and position the rack in the lower third.
- Fit the pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish, prick the bottom with a fork, line with foil, and fill with pie weights.
- Blind bake the crust for 10–12 minutes until set but not browned; remove from oven and keep warm.
- Spread chopped pecans on a baking sheet and toast in the oven for 5–7 minutes until fragrant; set aside to cool.
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, whisk honey, brown sugar, and melted butter until smooth and warm, about 2–3 minutes; remove from heat and cool 2 minutes.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk eggs until foamy, then slowly whisk in the warm honey mixture to temper.
- Whisk in vanilla extract, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg until fully combined.
- Stir toasted pecans into the filling and let stand for 1 minute.
- Remove foil and weights from the crust, pour the filling into the warm crust, and spread pecans evenly.
- Bake at 325°F (165°C) for 50–60 minutes until edges are set and center has a slight jiggle; tent crust edges with foil if browning too quickly.
- Transfer pie to a cooling rack and cool at least 1 hour, then refrigerate 4 hours or overnight before slicing.
Notes
For the cleanest slices, chill the pie thoroughly before cutting and serve slightly warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
