Ingredients
Scale
-
- For the Crust:
- 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- For the Filling:
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups pecan halves
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and place your unbaked pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish.
- Step 2: In a large bowl, whisk together corn syrup, sugar, eggs, melted butter, vanilla, and salt until smooth.
- Step 3: Stir in pecan halves and pour the mixture into the crust, spreading pecans evenly.
- Step 4: Bake for 55–60 minutes, or until the center is set and the crust is golden. Cover edges with foil if they brown too quickly.
- Step 5: Cool completely before slicing for a perfectly set, gooey filling. Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream!
Notes
💡 Tip: For an extra depth of flavor, try substituting half of the corn syrup with maple syrup or dark corn syrup. Store leftovers at room temperature for 2 days or refrigerate up to 5 days.
