Ingredients

1 pie crust 9-inch - unbaked
1 cup caramel candies unwrapped
2 tablespoons heavy cream
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup corn syrup
3 large eggs
2 tablespoons butter melted - unsalted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1½ cups pecan halves

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Prepare the pie crust dough in the dish. Set aside.
Unwrap the caramel candies and place them in a microwave-safe bowl with the heavy cream. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, corn syrup, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract, until well combined.
Slowly whisk ⅓ of the melted caramel mixture into the sugar mixture, keeping it moving as it is added to prevent the eggs from scrambling as you mix.
Add the remaining melted caramel, whisking until fully incorporated.
Spread the pecan halves evenly over the bottom of the pie crust.
Pour the filling over the pecans, making sure they are evenly distributed.
Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until the pie is set and the crust is golden brown.
Allow the pie to cool completely before serving.
