Ingredients

• 1 9-inch unbaked pie crust
• 3 pieces large eggs
• 1 cup light corn syrup
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup light brown sugar
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups pecan halves
• 0.25 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

Roll out the unbaked pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie pan. Trim and crimp the edges as desired. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, light corn syrup, granulated sugar, light brown sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Stir in the pecan halves, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

Step 5

Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly.

Step 6

Place the pie on the center rack of the preheated oven and bake for 55-60 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown. A toothpick inserted near the center should come out clean.

Step 7

If the edges of the crust start to brown too quickly, cover them with strips of aluminum foil or use a pie shield.

Step 8

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before slicing and serving.

Step 9

Serve plain or with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
