Ingredients
Scale
- 1 unbaked pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup melted unsalted butter
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups pecan halves
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Roll out your unbaked pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the light corn syrup, packed brown sugar, granulated sugar, melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Whisk until smooth.
- Gently fold in the pecan halves until evenly distributed.
- Carefully pour the pecan mixture into your prepared pie crust.
- Place the pie on the center rack of the oven. Bake for about 50 to 60 minutes until slightly jiggly in the center.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least two hours.
- Serve your pie warm or at room temperature, possibly with ice cream.
Notes
For a healthier pie, consider using ghee or sugar substitutes. Let the pie cool sufficiently before slicing to avoid a runny filling.
