Step 1

1. Line a 9" pie pan with pie dough. Cover loosely with plastic wrap. Freeze for 20 minutes.

Step 2

2. Position rack in the bottom third of the oven and place a baking sheet on the rack. Preheat the oven to 425F

Step 3

3. In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs. Add the corn syrup, brown sugar, melted butter, bourbon, and vanilla, and whisk until combined.

Step 4

4. To gauge exactly how many pecan halves are needed to decorate the pie, arrange the pecans in concentric circles on a 9" round space on the work surface (or in a 9"pie pan). Gather up the pecan halves and set aside. Fineky chop the remaining pecan halves and sprinkle in the crust. Place the unchopped halves on top. Carefully pour filling into the crust.

Step 5

5. Remove the hot baking sheet from the oven, and place the pie on the sheet. Return to the oven and bake for 15 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 350F. Continue baking until the topping is almost completely puffed and a knife inserted 1" from the center comes out clean, about 30-35 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack. (The pie can be baked up to 2 days ahead, covered tightly with plastic wrap, and refrigerated.) Serve at room temperature with the whipped cream.
