Ingredients

Scale

For the Pie Crust:

(Use store-bought or homemade pie crust)

  • 1 9-inch pie crust, unbaked

For the Filling:

 

  • 1 cup light corn syrup (or dark corn syrup for a deeper flavor)
  • 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 3 large eggs
  • ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ½ cups pecan halves

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat & Prep the Crust

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Roll out the pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Crimp the edges and set aside.

Step 2: Make the Filling

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together corn syrup, brown sugar, eggs, melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
  2. Stir in pecan halves.

Step 3: Assemble & Bake

  1. Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust.
  2. Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until the center is set and slightly jiggles when shaken.
  3. Let the pie cool for 2 hours before slicing.

Notes

  • For extra crunch, toast the pecans at 350°F for 5 minutes before adding to the filling.
  • Make ahead: Pecan pie can be made 1 day in advance and stored at room temperature or in the fridge.
  • Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for the ultimate treat!
