CINNAMON ROLL PECAN PIE

Ingredients

For the crust
1 pie crust, store-bought or homemade
¼ cup unsalted butter, room temperature
½ cup brown sugar
2 tsp cinnamon

For the filling
¾ cup light corn syrup
¼ cup dark corn syrup
1 cup of brown sugar
¾ tsp salt
1 ½ cups pecan pieces, toasted
3 eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup pecan halves

Directions
Preheat oven to 350ºF.

In a small bowl, mix together butter, brown sugar and cinnamon.
On a floured work surface, roll out pie crust and slather on cinnamon roll filling.
Starting with the side closest to you, roll into a tight log. Trim about 1 or 2 inches off each end and discard.

Cut each log into ½-inch thick pieces (you should get about 18-20).
On a floured surface, roll out each piece to ¼-inch thick and press into a 9-inch pie pan.
Chill until firm while preparing filling.

In a bowl, whisk together light and dark corn syrup, brown sugar, salt, toasted pecan pieces (not halves), eggs and vanilla extract. Mix until incorporated.

Pour into prepared crust and top with pecan halves, arranging in a circle. Bake for about an hour until firm. Let cool fully before slicing.

Serve with Bourbon Vanilla Icing (recipe below).
