Ingredients
- 1 piece prepared pie crust
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups pecan halves
- 0.25 teaspoon kosher salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
Place the prepared pie crust into a 9-inch pie pan if it’s not already fitted. Flute or crimp the edges as desired.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, light corn syrup, granulated sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and well combined.
Step 4
Stir in the pecan halves, ensuring they are fully coated in the mixture.
Step 5
Carefully pour the filling into the pie crust, spreading the pecans evenly across the surface.
Step 6
Place the pie on the center rack of the preheated oven. Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly puffed. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out mostly clean.
Step 7
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack (about 2 hours). This allows the filling to set fully.
Step 8
Serve plain or with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Enjoy!
