Filling Ingredients:
​
1 1/2 C Pecans, slightly chopped
1/2 C Golden Lakanto Sweetener
1/2 C Xylitol or Bochasweet
3/4 C Butter
3 large Eggs, beaten
1 1/2 tsp Vanilla
1/4 tsp Sea Salt
​
Directions: In a saucepan, melt butter and the two sweeteners together until melted. DO NOT boil. Once melted, temper the eggs with the sauce. (Add a bit of "sugar"/butter mix a big spoonful at a time to the eggs and stir in completely. Repeat until incorporated completely.) Return to saucepan and whisk together until well-blended. Place chopped pecans into pie crust (I prefer the almond crust for this pie) Pour "caramel sauce over the top of pecans and bake in a preheated 325 degree oven. Bake for 45-50 minutes until middle is slightly jiggly (check after about 35 minutes.) Allow to cool and enjoy with whipped cream!
