Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350. Bake pecans in a single layer in a shallow pan 8-10 minutes or until toasted and fragrant, stirring half way through.
2. Stir together graham cracker crumbs, next two ingredients, and 1/2 cup toasted pecans until blended. Press crumb mixture on bottom, up sides, and onto lip of lightly greased 10 inch deep-dish pie plate.
3. Bake at 350 for 10- 12 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from oven to a wire rack, and cool completely, approx 45 minutes.
4. Sprinkle remaining 3/4 cup toasted pecans over bottom of crust, drizzle caramel topping over pecans.
5. Whisk together sweetened condensed milk and next three ingredients. Gently pour into prepared crust.

I found this recipe in Southern Living several years ago. I thought it looked complicated but it really isn't. As good as Key lime pie gets!
