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.

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.
