Ingredients
  

Pecan Pie Filling
  • 1.5 cups Pecans
  • 1 cup Corn Syrup
  • 3 large Eggs
  • 0.5 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 0.5 cup Melted Butter
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Crust
  • 1 9-inch Pie Crust (unbaked)

Equipment

  • Oven
  • 9-inch Pie Dish
  • Large Bowl
  • Whisk
  • Wire Rack

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and arrange the pecans evenly in the unbaked pie crust.
Make the Filling
  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the corn syrup, eggs, sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
Assemble the Pie
  1. Pour the prepared filling over the pecans in the pie crust, ensuring the pecans are evenly distributed.
Bake the Pie
  1. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set and the crust is golden brown; a knife inserted near the center should come out clean.
Cool and Serve
  1. Allow the pie to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving to ensure it sets properly.

Notes

For best results, use good quality pecans and pure vanilla extract. You can also add a splash of bourbon to the filling for a more complex flavor. If the crust starts to brown too quickly, you can cover the edges with aluminum foil.
