- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- For the pie: Place the pie dough in a 9-inch pie dish and press it against the dish to remove any air pockets. Crimp the edges, as desired, and set aside.
- Beat the eggs with the brown sugar in a medium bowl until the mixture begins to foam slightly. Whisk in the corn syrup, honey, melted butter, whiskey, vanilla and 3/4 teaspoon salt. Stir in the chopped pecans. Carefully pour into the prepared pie dish. Bake for 30 minutes
- For the topping: Combine the brown sugar with the honey and butter in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves, 2 to 3 minutes.

HONEY PECAN PIE
I had never had this until recently. I had always made my pecan pies with Karo Syrup; however, this is a different recipe I found using honey instead of Karo and it gives this pie a decidedly different taste than the one I'm used to making.

Steps:
- In a medium bowl, combine the honey, sugar and eggs. Beat well.
- Add the vanilla extract and melted butter and mix well.
- Slowly, by hand, stir in the pecans.
- Pour into the unbaked pie shell and bake at 350 degrees for 50-55 minutes.
- Filling will be firmer around the edges, but softer in the middle.
- If your crust starts to get too brown, cover the edges with foil to prevent them from burning (or use one of those cute pie crust ring things if you have one, because they work really well).
- Allow to cool completely before slicing.
HONEY CRUNCH PECAN PIE
This recipe is an adoptee from the RecipeZaar account. I changed the recipe slightly because the crust ingredients were entered incorrectly by the original owner of this recipe (unless the crust was really made of 1/3 cup flour and 1/2 cup crisco, which I highly doubt). Anyway, this is a very good pecan pie; I think the honey added to the topping is really nice. I hope you enjoy it!
