Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 9-inch crust Pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 1.5 cups Unsalted peanuts (roasted and shelled)
- 3 pieces Large eggs
- 0.75 cup Light corn syrup
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Roll out the pie crust and press it into a 9-inch pie pan if it's not already prepared. Crimp the edges as desired. Place the crust in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.
Spread the roasted peanuts evenly over the bottom of the prepared pie crust.
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.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the peanuts in the crust, ensuring the peanuts are fully submerged or evenly coated.
Place the pie on the middle rack of the preheated oven. Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until the filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the center when gently shaken.
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack. This cooling step helps the filling set.
Slice the peanut pie into wedges and serve on its own or with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
