Ingredients
Scale
- 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust
- 3 large eggs
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup light corn syrup
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups pecan halves
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Place the unbaked pie crust on a baking sheet.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, granulated sugar, corn syrup, melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
- Arrange the pecan halves evenly in the bottom of the pie crust.
- Pour the egg mixture over the pecans.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown. The center should be slightly jiggly but not liquid.
- Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
Notes
- For a deeper flavor, you can add 1-2 tablespoons of bourbon or a tablespoon of dark corn syrup to the filling mixture.
- If your crust starts to brown too quickly, you can loosely tent it with aluminum foil.
- Ensure your pie is fully cooled before slicing to allow the filling to set properly.
