Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece Pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 1.5 cups Pecans
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 0.75 cups Light corn syrup
- 3 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Brandy
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Roll out the pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim and crimp the edges, then set aside.
Spread the pecans evenly in the bottom of the prepared pie crust.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the brown sugar and light corn syrup until smooth and fully combined.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly, about 5 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, brandy, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
Slowly pour the slightly cooled butter-sugar mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to avoid cooking the eggs.
Pour the filling mixture over the pecans in the pie crust, ensuring the pecans are evenly distributed.
Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any spills and bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is set and the center no longer jiggles when gently shaken.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack before serving to allow the filling to set.
Serve slices of the pie as is, or pair them with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.
