• Yields: 1 pie

Ingredients

• 1  oreo  pie crust
• 1 1⁄4 cups  chopped pecans, toasted
• 3⁄4 cup sugar
• 3  eggs
• 1  tablespoon vanilla
• 36  caramels
• 1⁄4 cup water
• 1⁄4 cup butter
• 1⁄4 teaspoon salt

Directions

1. The pie crust is the pre made oreo crust. Caramels are a bag of Kraft caramels unwrapped. I use real butter and real vanilla.
2. Toast pecans to bring out the flavor. Watch carefully, not to burn. In oven at 350 or on stove in a cast iron skillet.
3. Melt caramels, 1/4 c butter and 1/4 c water- low heat- stir often.
4. Mix eggs, beaten well w/ sugar, salt and vanilla.
5. Remove caramel from heat and add in nuts then sugar mixture. Stir well and pour into crust. This will totally fill crust. Have crust on a cookie sheet.
6. I bake at 300 for about 30-35 minutes. Will be a little jiggly- sets up more when cool.
