Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 Pie crust (9-inch, unbaked)
- 1.5 cups Pecans
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup Corn syrup (light or dark)
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 3 Large eggs
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the oven rack in the center position.
Prepare your 9-inch pie crust in a pie dish if not already done. Ensure the edges are crimped for decoration. Set it aside.
Spread the pecans evenly over the unbaked pie crust. For a decorative look, you can arrange them neatly, or simply scatter them evenly.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, remove the pan from the heat and whisk in the brown sugar, granulated sugar, corn syrup, vanilla extract, and salt.
Let the mixture cool slightly, then whisk in the eggs one at a time, ensuring they are fully incorporated.
Pour the filling mixture gently over the pecans in the pie crust. Allow the liquid to settle, ensuring the pecans float to the top.
Carefully transfer the pie to the preheated oven. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until the filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the center when nudged.
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely at room temperature for at least 2 hours. This will allow the filling to set fully.
Slice and serve as is, or top with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.
