Pecan Pie Caramel Sauce

I may be a little obsessed with the flavors in pecan pie. One of the most popular recipes on my site is my Pecan Pie Bread Pudding. Classic bread pudding is filled with a pecan pie center. It’s amazing!

Then, I share my Granny’s Classic Southern Pecan Pie recipe. It’s a classic favorite for a reason. Part of the popularity is it is easy to make with a gooey center topped with crunchy pecans. This makes a great combo!

As well, Pecan Cobbler is another very popular recipe on my site. For example, this cobbler has that wonderful caramel syrup and pecans but with a classic cobbler crust. Unbeatable!

When I was dreaming up this Pecan Pie Caramel Sauce, I dreamed of pouring it over vanilla ice cream. After I made it I realized it would be great served on pancakes, waffles, bread pudding, or pound cakes.

Ingredients you’ll need

  • Eggs. I used large eggs.
  • Sugar. This is white granulated sugar, not brown.
  • Pecans.
  • Butter. You can use either salted or unsalted.
  • All-purpose flour.
  • White corn syrup. This softens the texture and prevents the sugar from crystalizing.
  • Vanilla extract. Pure vanilla extract will give you better flavor than imitation.

Pecan Pie Caramel Sauce Tips

  1. To save money I used pecan pieces. They’re significantly cheaper than pecan halves.
  2. Furthermore, I used granulated sugar, but you can use light or dark brown sugar as well.
  3. Most importantly, when cooking this sauce, the pecans fall to the bottom. They will stick and burn if you don’t stir the mixture almost constantly.

    Since you said, “the pecans will stick if not stir continually”. Why not add them at the end of the recipe? Just a thought. I can’t wait to make this! It looks amazing!

          Yes, freeze the sauce in an airtight container, not a glass jar for up to 3 months. Defrost the sauce overnight in the fridge and warm gently before using. I suggest using any thawed sauce up within 2 days.
