Easy Pecan Pie Recipe
This pecan pie features a buttery crust filled with a sweet mixture of eggs, sugar, corn syrup, and toasted pecans. It takes about 1 hour to prepare and bake, serving 8 people.
Ingredients
- 1 unbaked pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup corn syrup
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups pecan halves
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare the Pie Crust: Place the unbaked pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish, crimping the edges as desired.
- Mix the Filling: In a large bowl, whisk together the corn syrup, brown sugar, eggs, melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
- Add Pecans: Stir in the pecan halves until evenly distributed.
- Fill the Crust: Pour the pecan mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading the pecans evenly.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown. If the edges of the crust brown too quickly, cover them with foil.
- Cool: Allow the pie to cool at room temperature for at least 2 hours before slicing. Serve plain or with whipped cream.
