  • In a small bowl, whisk remaining eggs; gradually whisk in caramel topping until blended. Pour slowly over pecans.

This pie was such a hit at Thanksgiving that I decided to make it again for Christmas. I did and the results were disappointing to say the least. Neither pie set correctly--they came out unbelievably runny. Then I stumbled across a review of this recipe from jiminy97 on Feb. 03, 2012. They had the same results as my Christmas fiasco--runny pies. The only thing we did alike was make 2 at the same time. My guess is "for best results--prepare 1 pie at a time" should be added to the recipe.

I have made this 3 times since finding the recipe a little before thanksgiving. For the time invested it is delicious! Tastes like you spent forever in it. Yummy.

Very easy recipe. The taste was excellent. Made it for friends and they loved it! I didn't use a deep dish pie crust, I used a graham cracker pie crust because its my fav with cheesecake, and pecan pie. Because I didn't use a deep dish pie crust I used less caramel than the recipe called for, maybe 2/3 of it was used. My pie still came out like the pic and maybe even better! The one problem I did have with the recipe is the timing to leave the pie in the oven. The recipe stated 35mins. But my pie was still not done in the middle so I left it for an additional 15 mins. or so and it came out perfect with the golden brown crust. YUMMY!!

Quick, easy, delicious ... puzzling how the caramel/egg mixture sinks to the bottom during the baking. It was the hit of my 2012 Thanksgiving feast.

Everyone in my family absolutely loves this pie, and they request it every year. The first time I made it I used the wrong kind of caramel, so the layers didn't work, but it was still good. Just make sure to double check your caramel before using it. Super tasty!

My pie did not turn out as expected, was very disappointed. I've gone over the recipe many times as I was sure it was something I did wrong, but I just can't figure out what it was. I made 2 of these pies for Christmas and had to throw them both away. I read the reviews and the caramel sauce is supposed to sink to the bottom, but how does sauce with 3 eggs in it sink? It turned out like terrible caramel scrambled eggs on top. I've baked before and really can't figure out how everyone else can make it come out right, but mine was so terrible we couldn't eat it!

I used a deep dish frozen pie shell and baked it for 45 minutes, it came out perfect. Everyone loved it! Note: For my first try I used a regular sized pie shell and only 2/3 of the topping would fit, but it still came out great with compliments.

Five stars are not enough for this one! Made it with the ice cream topping but I'm wondering if it would also work with the caramel apple dip I always seem to have onhand. Has anyone tried substituting that?

This is a great recipe! I made it for Thanksgiving this year, and it was a hit with the extended family. It looks like a pecan pie until you cut into it. It tastes terrific! We gave a pie to our neighbor, and she requested the recipe so that she could make it for her family, too.

Wonderful recipe! I made this for my Thanksgiving dinner and it turned out fabulous. I used a graham crust rather than a regular pie crust, as my family prefers it! It was a nice change from makng the traditional pecan pie!

Delicious! Easy!!!! I am going to try a Pet Ritz pie shell this next time. I did cook the pie a little longer then suggested, as I wasn't sure how the center of the pie should be before taking it out. Any suggestions????

To Coloradolime---I would certainly think you could do this in a 9x13 pan. I make my pumpkin pie recipe and bake in a pyrex cake pan. It comes out beautifully and is actually more healthy without the crust.

Reviewed on Nov. 27, 2011 by SunnyFL

This was such an easy recipe to make, almost foolproof! And makes such a beautiful presentation when cut. People came back for seconds, and my pie was gone in a flash, no leftovers. The cheesecake layer rises to the top, the caramel sinks to the bottom, and the pecans float to the top just like the picture. I topped with extra caramel, I used Hershey's caramel syrup, and my pie was not runny at all, just like the picture!

Has anyone ever tried making this recipe in a large baking dish and cutting into bars? I've got a crowd to feed and think that might be a better way to serve it. Wondering if it would hold up the same way.

The recipe is correct as written. During baking, the caramel sinks to the bottom and the pecans rise to the top.
