Prep time: 15 minutesCook time: 1 hourServes: 8
Ingredients
1 9-inch pie crust (unbaked)
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup light corn syrup
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup unsalted butter
3 large eggs
1 1/2 cups pecan halves
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, corn syrup, vanilla extract, and butter. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until butter melts and the mixture is smooth.
3. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until foamy. Gradually add the hot syrup mixture to the eggs, whisking continuously to prevent cooking the eggs.
4. Place the unbaked pie crust on a baking sheet. Arrange pecan halves evenly inside the crust.
5. Pour the filling mixture over the pecans in the pie crust.
6. Carefully transfer the pie to the preheated oven and bake for 55 to 60 minutes, or until the filling is set and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
7. Allow the pie to cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
Storage
Store leftover pecan pie covered with plastic wrap or foil in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Reheating
Reheat slices in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for about 10 minutes, or until warmed through.
