Ingredients

• 1 piece Pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
• 0.5 cup Creamy peanut butter
• 0.25 cup Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar
• 0.75 cup 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

Roll out your pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim excess crust and crimp the edges as desired.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the peanut butter and unsalted butter together, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and corn syrup until well combined.

Step 5

Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking well after each addition.

Step 6

Stir in the melted peanut butter mixture, vanilla extract, and salt until fully incorporated.

Step 7

Fold in the pecan halves until evenly distributed.

Step 8

Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly.

Step 9

Place the pie on the middle rack of the oven and bake for 55–60 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown. Tip: You may need to cover the crust edges with foil or a pie shield during baking to prevent over-browning.

Step 10

Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely before slicing, at least 2 hours. The filling will firm up as it cools.

Step 11

Serve plain, or with a dollop of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream. Enjoy!
