For an even richer flavor, consider toasting the pecans before chopping and adding them to the filling. If you don't have bourbon, a teaspoon of rum extract can be substituted. To prevent the crust from puffing up during baking, prick the bottom of the crust with a fork before adding the filling. Ensure the oven temperature is accurate, as this significantly affects the baking time and texture of the pie. For a deeper caramel flavor in the topping, use dark brown sugar and a pinch of sea salt.
