Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 9-inch shell Pie crust (unbaked)
- 1.5 cups Pecans
- 3 pieces Large eggs
- 1 cup Light corn syrup
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Place the unbaked 9-inch pie crust into a pie dish and crimp the edges if needed. Set aside.
Spread the pecans evenly over the bottom of the pie crust.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until they are well beaten.
Add the corn syrup, granulated sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt to the beaten eggs. Mix until fully combined and smooth.
Pour the filling mixture over the pecans in the pie crust, ensuring the pecans are evenly distributed and coated.
Place the pie dish on the center rack of the preheated oven.
Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly puffed, and a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack (about 2-3 hours) to allow the filling to set properly.
Slice and serve your Old Fashion Pecan Pie as is or with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
