OMG! This is the most amazing pecan pie I have ever had. I like pecan pie, but it isn't my dessert of choice, I made this special for my boyfriend (who also loved it) and now it has found it's way into my personal all time favorite desserts. I did, however, make a few changes, I always do... I didn't have dark caro syrup, so I added a drop of maple extract. I added about 1/3 cup white sugar to the filling, along with vanilla and cinnamon and I used 4 tbsp of butter instead of 3. The filling tasted like hot buttered rum! For the top layer of nuts, I followed another reveiwer's advice and made a brown sugar/butter/honey mixture and heated the pecans in a skillet, then added them to the pie the last 15 minutes of baking. I placed the pie on the bottom rack, didn't have any troubles with the top burning. I did have a few drops of overflow, though, luckily, I had a cookie sheet underneath. Also, I cheated and used a store bought pie crust due to being short on time... I can't wait to make this again and next time try the recipe for the shell. Thank you for sharing!
