Instructions
Cream butter and sugar in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
Add flour, salt, and eggs. Beat until smooth. Add buttermilk, lemon juice, and vanilla. Blend well. (Mixture may appear curdled if your ingredients are cold.)
Pour filling into a 9" deep dish pie crust.
Place pie pan on a cookie sheet and place in an oven that has been preheated to 350°F. Bake for 30 minutes.
Meanwhile: combine the streusel ingredients in a medium bowl. Using thumb and fingers, pinch together all streusel ingredients (except the caramel sauce) to create a crumble.
Remove pie from oven and sprinkle the pecan streusel on top of the pie. Place back into the oven and continue to back for 20 minutes.
Allow to cool completely, on a cooling rack for 30 minutes.
