Ingredients
- 1 piece pie crust (unbaked, 9-inch)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 3 pieces large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1.5 cups pecan halves
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the oven rack in the center position.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, light corn syrup, and melted butter until fully combined.
Step 3
Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking well after each addition to create a smooth mixture.
Step 4
Stir in the vanilla extract and salt until evenly incorporated.
Step 5
Fold in the pecan halves, ensuring they are evenly coated with the filling mixture.
Step 6
Place the unbaked 9-inch pie crust onto a baking sheet for easier handling and transfer it to the oven.
Step 7
Pour the prepared filling into the pie crust, spreading the pecans out evenly in the filling.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown. The center should still have a slight jiggle, as it will firm up as it cools.
Step 9
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
Step 10
Serve plain or with a dollop of whipped cream for the perfect finish to this Southern classic!
