Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 9-inch unbaked pie crust
- 3 pieces large eggs
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup light brown sugar
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups pecan halves
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Roll out the unbaked pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie pan. Trim and crimp the edges as desired. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, light corn syrup, granulated sugar, light brown sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and well combined.
Stir in the pecan halves, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly.
Place the pie on the center rack of the preheated oven and bake for 55-60 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown. A toothpick inserted near the center should come out clean.
If the edges of the crust start to brown too quickly, cover them with strips of aluminum foil or use a pie shield.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before slicing and serving.
Serve plain or with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
