Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
For the filling
Add flour, salt, white and dark brown sugar to a large mixing bowl. Whisk to combine them together.
If using homemade pie crust, roll it out on a floured surface and place in the pie plate. If using a store made crust, place it into the pie plate.

Put the filled crust on the prepared baking sheet. Loosely cover the pie with foil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour. (The filling will almost be set.) The center will slightly jiggle.

Whiskey Sauce
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk until smooth the confectioner sugar, ground cinnamon, whiskey, and milk. Set aside until the pie is cool.

Notes
Be sure to check Expert Tips and FAQs above with important tips and questions that can help make a delicious recipe. Note 1: My favorite whiskey is a good Tenessee whiskey such as Jack Daniels Rye Select or Heaven's Door Double Barrel.Bourbon can also be used in the pie, making it a Bourbon Pecan Pie. I suggest a good Kentucky Bourbon such as Maker Mark or Elijah Craig Small Batch Bourbon.Apple juice can be used in lieu of liquor. Note 2: Whole milk delivers flavor, splurge on this pie, and use it. However, low-fat can be used. We do not recommend skim milk for this recipe.
