Sissy's Caramel Pecan Pie - Caramel Pecan Pie

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 350 degrees (175 C.).

2. 2

   Beat the eggs slightly with a fork in a mixing bowl.

3. 3

   In a separate bowl mix the brown sugar and butter and put in the microwave and melt the butter.

4. 4

   Mix the brown sugar and butter mixture with the caramel, vanilla, cornmeal, and salt.

5. 5

   Let this mixture cool slightly, making sure it is cool enough that it won't cook the eggs, and to this mixture, mix in the eggs.

6. 6

   Mix in the pecans and pour into the unbaked pie crust.

7. 7

   Bake on the center oven rack for approximately 45 to 50 minutes or until it is as done as you want it.

8. 8

   I usually cook it until the center is not quiet solid but will firm up as it cools.

9. 9

   Place on a cooling rack and cool completely--about 2 hours.

10. 10

    The secret is make sure you cool any pie on a cooling rack, this keeps the crust from getting soggy.

    Note: You can temper the eggs, by mixing the brown sugar, butter, caramel, vanilla salt and cornmeal together then adding a little bit of this mixture to the eggs and beating them and then adding that mixture back to the rest of the brown sugar mixture.
