1 pie crust, homemade or store-bought (plus extra dough for decorating, optional)
1 ½ cups brown sugar
½ cup white sugar
¾ cup (1 ½ sticks) unsalted butter, melted and browned (optional)
3 large eggs
1 ½ tablespoons all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon cinnamon
1 ½ tablespoons heavy cream
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups pecans, plus extra for garnish

Instructions:

1️⃣ Preheat your oven to 375ºF (190ºC). 🔥 Roll out the pie crust to a 12 or 13-inch circle, big enough to fit a springform pan, tart, or pie dish. 🍴

2️⃣ Gently place the dough in the pan, pressing it into the bottom and sides of the pan, and trimming any excess. Optional: cut out pie dough flowers or other designs to decorate the crust later. 🌸 Place the pie dish in the fridge until ready to fill. ❄️

3️⃣ In a large bowl, beat the eggs until foamy and fluffy, then beat in the browned butter. 🥚

4️⃣ Once combined, beat in the brown and white sugar until the sugar granules are dissolved. 🍯

5️⃣ Sprinkle in the flour, cinnamon, and salt, then stir in the heavy cream and vanilla extract. 🌿

6️⃣ Once fully incorporated, fold in the pecans, then pour the mixture into the pie crust. 🌰

7️⃣ Decorate the pie crust with any pecans or cutouts you made earlier. 🌟

8️⃣ Place the pie pan in the oven and bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the center is just set and no longer jiggly. ⏳

9️⃣ Remove from the oven and let cool completely before serving. Enjoy your delicious pecan pie! 🍽️
