Ingredients

• 1 9-inch crust Pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
• 1.5 cups Unsalted peanuts (roasted and shelled)
• 3 pieces Large eggs
• 0.75 cup Light corn syrup
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup Unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

Roll out the pie crust and press it into a 9-inch pie pan if it's not already prepared. Crimp the edges as desired. Place the crust in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.

Step 3

Spread the roasted peanuts evenly over the bottom of the prepared pie crust.

Step 4

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 5

Pour the egg mixture evenly over the peanuts in the crust, ensuring the peanuts are fully submerged or evenly coated.

Step 6

Place the pie on the middle rack of the preheated oven. Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until the filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the center when gently shaken.

Step 7

Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack. This cooling step helps the filling set.

Step 8

Slice the peanut pie into wedges and serve on its own or with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
