Ingredients
1 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest plus 3 tablespoons juice
2 tablespoons milk
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

One store-bought 9-inch deep-dish pie shell, unbaked
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.

Stir in the butter, vanilla, lemon zest and juice, milk, flour and 1 cup chopped pecans until combined. Pour the mixture into the unbaked pie shell.
