Servings: 10 servings
1
unbaked
9-inch (4-cup volume) deep-dish pie shell*
1 2/3 cups
(11-oz. pkg.)
NESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSE® Butterscotch Flavored Morsels, divided
3/4 cup
light corn syrup
3
large
eggs, at room temperature
1 tablespoon
all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon
salt
1 1/2 cups
pecan halves, coarsely chopped
1 1/2 cups
whipped cream (optional)
PREHEAT oven to 350º F.
MELT 1 1/3 cups morsels in medium, uncovered microwave-safe bowl on MEDIUM-HIGH (70%) power for 1 minute; STIR. Morsels may retain some of their shape. If necessary, microwave at additional 10- to 15-second intervals, stirring just until morsels are melted.
ADD corn syrup, eggs, flour and salt to melted morsels. Beat on medium until smooth. Stir in pecans. Pour pecan mixture into pie shell.
BAKE for 40 to 45 minutes or until knife inserted into center comes out with little bits of filling attached. If browning too quickly, cover with foil. Cool on wire rack for 2 hours. Refrigerate 1 hour or until serving time.
TO GARNISH AND SERVE:
LINE baking sheet with wax paper.
PLACE remaining morsels in heavy-duty plastic bag. Microwave on MEDIUM-HIGH (70%) power for 30 to 45 seconds; knead. Microwave at 10- to 15-second intervals, kneading until smooth. Cut tiny corner from bag. Drizzle 10 circular designs about 2 inches high and wide onto prepared baking sheet. Refrigerate for 5 to 10 minutes or until firm.
PLACE 10 dollops of whipped cream around edge of pie. Remove drizzle designs from refrigerator. With tip of knife, gently remove designs from wax paper and insert, standing up, into dollops. Serve immediately.
NOTES
*If using frozen pie shell, use deep-dish style. Do not thaw. Bake on baking sheet.
TIPS:
• 1/3 cup NESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSE® Semi-Sweet Chocolate Morsels can also be melted and made into drizzle designs instead of the Butterscotch Flavored Morsels.
•Two shallow (2-cup volume) pie shells can be substituted for the one deep-dish pie shell. Follow directions above and bake for 30 to 35 minutes.

Perfectly Easy
This pie is amazing.I never tried pecan pie until I found this recipe and I love it. Everyone I have made it for loves it as well saying they love it because it is not a sweet as a regular pecan pie. The thing I love most about this pie is that it is so easy to make.

Best ever pie according to my daughter!
I baked this for our pre-Christmas dinner (because of weather, we celebrated early) and my pie was the hit of the desserts (even though I overcooked it slightly) It was easy and very good if I do say so myself. Even my grandson liked it.

butterscotch lovers alert!!
My husband loves butterscotch so I decided to make this for him on Thanksgiving. What a hit, so much so that he said he will divorce me if I lose this recipe. His twin sister wants the recipe now too. I must say for an easy to make pie it sure is yummy! Thanks Very Best and I'm printing a few more.
