Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece Unbaked 9-inch pie crust
- 3 pieces Large eggs
- 1 cup Dark corn syrup
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted and cooled)
- 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1.5 cups Pecan halves
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the oven rack in the middle position.
Roll out your unbaked pie crust into a 9-inch pie pan. Trim and crimp the edges, then refrigerate the crust while preparing the filling.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, dark corn syrup, granulated sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and well combined.
Spread the pecan halves evenly over the bottom of the chilled pie crust.
Pour the filling mixture over the pecans. The pecans will rise to the top as the filling settles.
Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any potential drips, then transfer to the preheated oven.
Bake the pie for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly wobbly. The filling will firm up as it cools.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before slicing. This ensures the filling is fully set.
Serve the pie at room temperature or slightly warm with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
