A buttery crust filled with a rich, gooey, caramel-like filling and plenty of crunchy pecans!
🥧 Ingredients
- 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust (homemade or store-bought)
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ cups pecan halves
🥧 Instructions
1️⃣ Preheat the oven:
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F).
Place your pie crust into a 9-inch pie plate and crimp the edges.
2️⃣ Make the filling:
In a large bowl, whisk together the corn syrup, sugar, eggs, melted butter, vanilla, and salt until smooth and combined.
3️⃣ Add the pecans:
Stir the pecan halves into the filling mixture until evenly coated.
4️⃣ Assemble the pie:
Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading the pecans out evenly.
5️⃣ Bake:
Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until the filling is set around the edges and just slightly jiggly in the center.
(Tip: Cover the edges with foil if they brown too quickly!)
6️⃣ Cool:
Allow the pie to cool completely on a wire rack — it will firm up as it cools.
Slice and serve!
