Ingredients

• 1 9-inch crust Pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
• 1.5 cups Pecan halves
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Brown sugar
• 0.75 cup Corn syrup (light or dark)
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 3 large Eggs

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

Roll out your pie crust if needed and fit it into a 9-inch pie pan. Flute the edges or crimp as desired. Set aside.

Step 3

Spread the pecan halves evenly over the bottom of the pie crust.

Step 4

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the brown sugar, corn syrup, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until smooth.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Gradually whisk the warm butter-sugar mixture into the eggs, stirring constantly, until fully combined.

Step 6

Pour the filling mixture over the pecans in the pie crust. The pecans will naturally rise to the top.

Step 7

Place the pie on the middle rack of the oven and bake for 50-55 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly puffed. To check doneness, insert a knife into the center; it should come out mostly clean.

Step 8

Allow the pie to cool completely on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before serving. This allows the filling to set firmly.

Step 9

Slice and serve as is, or enjoy with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side.
