Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup light corn syrup
- 3 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1.5 cups chopped pecans
- 0.5 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1 pie crust (homemade or store-bought)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Prepare a 9-inch pie dish by fitting it with your pie crust. If using a store-bought crust, let it come to room temperature first. Flute or crimp the edges for a decorative finish, if desired.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, corn syrup, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt. Slowly whisk the melted butter into the mixture until smooth and fully combined.
Fold the chopped pecans and mini chocolate chips into the filling.
Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly.
Place the pie on the middle rack of the oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is set and the pie is slightly puffed. The center should still jiggle slightly when shaken gently.
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack. This will take about 2-3 hours and will help the filling set.
Slice and serve as is, or top with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.
