Ingredients

1/2 (15-ounce) package refrigerated piecrust (1 sheet)

3/4 cup butterscotch morsels

3 tablespoons butter

1 cup light corn syrup

1/2 cup sugar

3 eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 1/2 cups chopped pecans

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

2. On a lightly floured surface, roll piecrust into a 12-inch circle. Fit piecrust into a 9-inch pie plate, crimping edges as desired; set aside.

3. In a small bowl, combine butterscotch morsels and butter. Microwave on High (100-percent power) for 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until morsels are melted and smooth (approximately 1 minute total). Let cool for 5 minutes.

4. In a medium bowl, whisk together corn syrup, sugar, eggs, and vanilla until combined. Add butterscotch mixture, whisking to combine. Stir in pecans. Pour mixture into prepared pie plate.
