Ingredients

• 1 piece unbaked 9-inch pie crust
• 3 pieces large eggs
• 1 cup light corn syrup
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup pecan halves

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, then trim and crimp the edges as desired.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Arrange the pecan halves evenly in the prepared pie crust.

Step 5

Carefully pour the filling mixture over the pecans, ensuring they remain evenly distributed.

Step 6

Place the pie on the center rack of the preheated oven and bake for 50–60 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly puffed, and the crust is golden brown.

Step 7

To check for doneness, gently shake the pie. The center should be slightly jiggly but not liquid.

Step 8

Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the filling to set properly.

Step 9

Slice and serve plain or topped with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for a decadent treat.
