Description
A traditional recipe for a rich and nutty pecan pie, perfect for holidays and gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 1/2 cups pecan halves or pieces
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, whisk together corn syrup, brown sugar, granulated sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
- Gradually whisk in the lightly beaten eggs until the mixture is smooth.
- Stir in the pecan halves, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
- Pour the pecan mixture into the unbaked pie crust.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. If the crust begins to brown too quickly, cover the edges with aluminum foil.
- Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving. This allows the filling to fully set.
Notes
- Cover crust edges with foil if they brown too quickly during baking.
- Allow the pie to cool completely for the filling to set properly.
