Equipment

9-inch pie pan
Mixing Bowls
Whisk
Oven
Spatula

Ingredients

For the Crust:

1.5 cups all-purpose flour
0.5 cup unsalted butter cold and cut into small cubes
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
0.25 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons cold water add more if necessary

For the Filling:

2 cups whole milk
3 large eggs lightly beaten
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract pure

For the Topping:

1 cup caramel sauce store-bought or homemade
0.25 cup chopped pecans

Instructions

Preheat Oven and Prepare Crust: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, blend the cold butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add cold water gradually until the dough holds together. Press the dough into a 9-inch pie pan evenly.
Make the Filling: In another bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined. Pour this mixture over the prepared crust carefully.
Baking: Bake in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown. You'll know it's ready when the center jiggles slightly but is mostly firm.
Adding the Topping: Once out of the oven, allow the pie to cool slightly. Top with caramel sauce and sprinkle with chopped pecans before serving.

Notes

Tammy’s Tips:

For a nuttier flavor, consider toasting the pecans before using them as a topping.
If you prefer a thicker crust, add an additional 1/2 cup of flour and adjust the butter accordingly.
