Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 9-inch Unbaked pie crust
- 1.5 cups Pecan halves
- 1 cup Light corn syrup
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 3 Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Roll out the unbaked pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim any excess dough and crimp the edges as desired. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, corn syrup, granulated sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and well combined.
Gently fold in the pecan halves, ensuring they are evenly coated with the mixture.
Pour the pecan mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading the pecans out evenly with a spatula.
Place the pie on the center rack of the preheated oven and bake for 50–55 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly puffed. The center should still have a slight jiggle when gently shaken.
If the crust starts to brown too quickly, cover the edges with aluminum foil or a pie shield halfway through baking.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack. This allows the filling to fully set.
Slice and serve at room temperature or slightly warmed, optionally topped with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
