Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece Unbaked 9-inch pie crust
- 1.5 cups Pecans
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 cup Light corn syrup
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons Myrtlewood syrup (or substitute with maple syrup if unavailable)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Prepare your unbaked 9-inch pie crust by placing it in a pie pan and crimping the edges as desired. Set it aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, light corn syrup, brown sugar, melted butter, myrtlewood syrup, vanilla extract, and salt until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
Spread the pecans evenly across the bottom of the prepared pie crust.
Pour the filling mixture over the pecans, ensuring the nuts are evenly distributed and coated by the filling.
Carefully place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 50-55 minutes, or until the pie is set and the center only slightly jiggles when nudged.
If the crust starts to brown too quickly during baking, cover the edges with aluminum foil to prevent burning.
Once baked, remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 2-3 hours to fully set before slicing.
Serve at room temperature or slightly warm, optionally with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
