Prep Time: 20 minutes Cook Time: 50-55 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 (9-inch) unbaked pie crust
  • 1 1/2 cups coarsely chopped pecans
  • 1 cup light corn syrup
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Roll out the pie crust and place it in a 9-inch pie plate. Crimp the edges.

Sprinkle the chopped pecans evenly over the bottom of the pie crust.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the corn syrup, sugar, eggs, melted butter, vanilla, and salt. Pour the filling over the pecans.

Bake for 15 minutes at 425°F (220°C), then reduce the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for an additional 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set. Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before serving.

    Tips:

    • For a richer flavor, use dark corn syrup.
    • To prevent over-browning, loosely tent the pie with foil during the last part of baking.
    • Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a delicious dessert.

    Enjoy this classic pecan pie!
