Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece prepared pie crust
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups pecan halves
- 0.25 teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Place the prepared pie crust into a 9-inch pie pan if it’s not already fitted. Flute or crimp the edges as desired.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, light corn syrup, granulated sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and well combined.
Stir in the pecan halves, ensuring they are fully coated in the mixture.
Carefully pour the filling into the pie crust, spreading the pecans evenly across the surface.
Place the pie on the center rack of the preheated oven. Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly puffed. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out mostly clean.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack (about 2 hours). This allows the filling to set fully.
Serve plain or with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Enjoy!
