Ingredients

• 1 piece pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 cup light brown sugar
• 1 cup light corn syrup
• 3 pieces large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 1.5 cups pecan halves

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

Place the prepared pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish, crimping the edges as desired. Set aside.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter. Once melted, remove it from heat and whisk in the light brown sugar and corn syrup until smooth and fully combined.

Step 4

Allow the mixture to cool slightly, then whisk in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract and salt.

Step 5

Stir in the pecan halves until they are evenly coated in the mixture.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 50 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly puffed in the center. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.

Step 8

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack. This allows the filling to set further.

Step 9

Slice and serve at room temperature, optionally with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
