Pecan Pie Ingredients
  • 1 count pre-made pie crust
  • 1.5 cups pecan halves
  • 1 cup light corn syrup
  • 0.5 cup brown sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 0.25 cup melted butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 0.25 tsp salt

Equipment

  • 9-inch pie dish
  • large mixing bowl
  • whisk
  • wire rack

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and place the pre-made pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish.
  2. Spread the pecan halves evenly across the bottom of the pie crust.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the corn syrup, brown sugar, eggs, melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
  4. Pour the mixture gently over the pecans in the pie crust, ensuring they are evenly coated.
  5. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the center is set and the crust is golden brown.
  6. Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.

Notes

For an extra rich flavor, toast the pecans lightly before adding them to the pie crust. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful treat. If the crust starts to brown too quickly, cover the edges with aluminum foil.
