Ingredients

• 1 piece Unbaked 9-inch pie crust
• 2 cups Pecans
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Light brown sugar
• 0.75 cups Light corn syrup
• 1 tablespoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 3 pieces Large eggs
• 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

Roll out the unbaked pie crust into a 9-inch pie pan and crimp the edges. Place in the refrigerator to chill while preparing the filling.

Step 3

Roughly chop 1 cup of the pecans and leave the remaining 1 cup whole for garnish, if desired.

Step 4

In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and stir in the light brown sugar, light corn syrup, and salt. Mix until smooth, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 5

Once slightly cooled, stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 6

In a separate mixing bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Gradually add the cooled syrup mixture to the eggs, whisking constantly to prevent curdling.

Step 7

Sprinkle the tablespoon of flour over the chopped pecans and toss to coat. This step helps distribute the nuts evenly in the filling.

Step 8

Fold the flour-coated chopped pecans into the filling mixture.

Step 9

Retrieve the chilled pie crust and pour the filling into it. Arrange the remaining whole pecans in a decorative pattern on top, if desired.

Step 10

Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any potential overflows and bake for 50-55 minutes, or until the filling is mostly set with a slight jiggle in the center.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and cool completely at room temperature before slicing and serving. For best results, chill in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours before serving.

Step 12

Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
