Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece Unbaked 9-inch pie crust
- 2 cups Pecans
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 cup Light corn syrup
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Roll out your unbaked 9-inch pie crust into a pie pan and gently press it into the pan. Set aside.
Spread the pecans evenly across the bottom of the pie crust.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, light corn syrup, brown sugar, melted unsalted butter, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and completely combined.
Gently pour the egg mixture over the pecans, ensuring the nuts stay evenly distributed.
Place the pie on the center rack of the preheated oven and bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until the filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack. This will take about 2 hours to ensure the filling firms up.
Slice and serve your Exceptional Pecan Pie plain or with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
