Ingredients
- 1 prepared pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 3 ripe bananas
- 1 cup pecans, chopped
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Place your prepared pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish and set aside.
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, add the brown sugar and granulated sugar, stirring until the mixture is smooth and bubbly.
- Add the heavy cream to the saucepan and bring to a gentle simmer. Allow it to simmer for 2-3 minutes while stirring constantly until it thickens slightly.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and let it cool for a few minutes. Then, whisk in the eggs, vanilla extract, and salt until fully incorporated.
- Slice the bananas and layer them evenly on the bottom of the pie crust.
- Pour the caramel mixture over the bananas, making sure they are well covered.
- Sprinkle the chopped pecans over the top of the pie.
- Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.
- Once baked, remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack.
- For the best flavor, chill the pie in the refrigerator for at least one hour before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld beautifully!
- Slice the pie and serve it with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for an extra special touch.
