Description
Make a rich, sweet, and gooey pecan pie with a flaky crust using this straightforward recipe perfect for any holiday gathering.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (9 inch) unbaked deep-dish pie crust
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- 3 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups pecan halves
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the pie crust on a baking sheet.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the sugar, corn syrup, eggs, melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
- Stir in the pecan halves until they are evenly coated with the filling mixture.
- Pour the filling mixture into the unbaked pie crust.
- Bake for 50 to 60 minutes. The center should be mostly set but still have a slight jiggle when gently shaken.
- Cool the pie completely on a wire rack for at least 3 hours before slicing. This allows the filling to set properly for a gooey texture.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, substitute 1/4 cup of the corn syrup with bourbon.
- If your crust edges begin to brown too quickly, cover them loosely with aluminum foil halfway through baking.
- To test for doneness, insert a thin knife near the edge of the filling; it should come out clean.
