Ingredients

• 1 piece Unbaked 9-inch pie crust
• 3 pieces Large eggs
• 1 cup Dark corn syrup
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted and cooled)
• 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1.5 cups Pecan halves

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the oven rack in the middle position.

Step 2

Roll out your unbaked pie crust into a 9-inch pie pan. Trim and crimp the edges, then refrigerate the crust while preparing the filling.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Spread the pecan halves evenly over the bottom of the chilled pie crust.

Step 5

Pour the filling mixture over the pecans. The pecans will rise to the top as the filling settles.

Step 6

Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any potential drips, then transfer to the preheated oven.

Step 7

Bake the pie for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly wobbly. The filling will firm up as it cools.

Step 8

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before slicing. This ensures the filling is fully set.

Step 9

Serve the pie at room temperature or slightly warm with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
