Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup light brown sugar
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1.5 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1.5 cups pecan halves
- 1 shell unbaked 9-inch pie shell
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, light corn syrup, granulated sugar, light brown sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt until thoroughly combined.
Stir in the pecan halves, ensuring they are evenly coated by the mixture.
Pour the pecan mixture into the unbaked 9-inch pie shell and spread evenly.
Carefully transfer the pie to the preheated oven. Bake for 50–55 minutes, or until the filling is set but slightly jiggly in the center.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours to fully set.
Slice and serve plain, or with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
