Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece unbaked 9-inch pie crust
- 3 pieces large eggs
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1.5 cups pecan halves
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, corn syrup, sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
Stir in the pecan halves, ensuring they are evenly coated with the mixture.
Place the unbaked pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish if it isn't already in one.
Pour the filling mixture into the pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
Gently arrange some additional pecan halves on the surface for decoration, if desired.
Place the pie on the center rack of the oven and bake for 50-55 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.
To check for doneness, insert a knife or toothpick into the center of the pie; it should come out clean or with minimal filling sticking to it.
Allow the pecan pie to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
Serve plain or with a dollop of freshly whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Enjoy!
