Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

Roll out the unbaked pie crust and place it into a 9-inch pie pan. Crimp the edges if desired, and set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk the 3 large eggs until they are fully beaten.

Add the granulated sugar, corn syrup, melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt to the beaten eggs. Whisk the mixture until smooth and thoroughly combined.

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

Step 6

Pour the pecan mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly.

Step 7

Place the pie on the center rack of the preheated oven and bake for 50 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly puffed in the center. The crust should be golden brown.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Serve the pie at room temperature or slightly warmed with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.
