Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup light corn syrup
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1½ cups pecan halves
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Place the unbaked pie crust in a 9-inch pie pan and crimp the edges decoratively.
  2. Beat eggs in a large bowl; whisk in syrup, sugar, butter, vanilla, and salt until smooth.
  3. Gently fold in pecans evenly.
  4. Pour into crust; arrange pecans on top.
  5. Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly puffed. The center should jiggle just slightly when you gently shake the pan.
  6. Cool completely on rack; slice and serve with whipped cream or ice cream.
