Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece Pre-made pie crust
- 15 pieces Ritz crackers
- 1 cup Pecans, chopped
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 cup Light corn syrup
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Place the pre-made pie crust into a 9-inch pie pan and crimp the edges as desired.
Crush the Ritz crackers into coarse crumbs using your hands or a rolling pin. Sprinkle the crumbs evenly across the bottom of the prepared pie crust.
Scatter the chopped pecans over the top of the Ritz cracker crumbs to form an even layer.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, light corn syrup, brown sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt until fully combined and smooth.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the pecans and cracker crumbs in the pie crust. Use a spatula to gently spread the mixture if needed.
Place the pie on the middle rack of the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely at room temperature for at least 2 hours before slicing.
Serve plain or with a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence.
