How to cook deliciously - Cinnamon Bun Pecan Pie

1. Stage

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spread pecans onto a baking sheet.

2. Stage

Bake in the preheated oven until pecans are toasted and fragrant, 5 to 10 minutes.

3. Stage

Spray a 9-inch pie pan with cooking spray. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.

4. Stage

Press the cinnamon rolls into the bottom of the pie pan, sealing edges together to create the 'crust'.

5. Stage

Whisk corn syrup and brown sugar together in a bowl until thick and sticky. Add butter and whisk until mixture is smooth. Whisks eggs, 1 at a time, into brown sugar mixture, whisking well after each addition, until eggs are fully incorporated. Stir cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt into brown sugar mixture.

Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Cover crust with pieces of aluminum foil to avoid burning.

Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Continue baking until pie is set in the middle, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool pie for 15 minutes.
