Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Sugar
- 1 cup Dark Corn Syrup
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 cup Pecans
- 0.5 cup Unsalted Butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1 piece Pie Crust, unbaked (9-inch)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar, dark corn syrup, and melted butter until smooth and well combined.
Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking thoroughly after each addition.
Stir in the vanilla extract and then fold in the pecans until evenly mixed.
Place the unbaked pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish and crimp the edges as desired.
Pour the pecan filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 50 to 55 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly puffed, with the center still slightly jiggly.
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.
Serve at room temperature or chilled, optionally with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
