Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece Pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 0.5 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 0.75 cup Corn syrup
- 3 pieces Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1.5 cups Pecan halves
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Roll out your pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim excess crust and crimp the edges as desired.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the peanut butter and unsalted butter together, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and corn syrup until well combined.
Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking well after each addition.
Stir in the melted peanut butter mixture, vanilla extract, and salt until fully incorporated.
Fold in the pecan halves until evenly distributed.
Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
Place the pie on the middle rack of the oven and bake for 55–60 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown. Tip: You may need to cover the crust edges with foil or a pie shield during baking to prevent over-browning.
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely before slicing, at least 2 hours. The filling will firm up as it cools.
Serve plain, or with a dollop of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream. Enjoy!
