Pecan Pie

Ingredients

• 1 9-inch pie crust
• 1.5 cups pecan halves
• ¾ cup light corn syrup
• ½ cup brown sugar
• 3 tbsp butter
• 3 large eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• ¼ tsp salt

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the 1 pie crust in a 9-inch pie pan and crimp edges as desired.

2. 2

   In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine 0.75 cup corn syrup, 0.5 cup brown sugar, and 3 tbsp butter. Stir until butter melts and sugar dissolves, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

3. 3

   In a large bowl, whisk 3 eggs with 1 tsp vanilla and 0.25 tsp salt until frothy.

4. 4

   Slowly pour the warm syrup mixture into the eggs, whisking constantly to prevent curdling.

5. 5

   Arrange 1.5 cups pecan halves evenly over the bottom of the pie crust.

6. 6

   Pour the filling over the pecans, ensuring they are mostly covered.

7. 7

   Bake until the filling is set around the edges but slightly jiggly in the center, about 45-50 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.

8. 8

   Serve at room temperature or slightly warm.
