A traditional gooey pecan pie with a flaky crust, perfect for holiday gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust
  • 3 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup light corn syrup
  • 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups pecan halves

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Place the unbaked pie crust on a baking sheet.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, corn syrup, brown sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
  4. Stir in the pecan halves, coating them evenly with the filling mixture.
  5. Pour the pecan filling into the unbaked pie crust.
  6. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is just set and the crust is golden brown. A knife inserted near the center should come out clean.
  7. Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • For a deeper flavor, you can toast the pecans lightly before adding them to the filling.
  • If you prefer a less sweet pie, you can slightly reduce the corn syrup and brown sugar, but be aware this may affect the texture.
  • Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.
