The Best Pecan Pie
This is the best pecan pie recipe! Loaded with pecans and delicious gooey filling in a homemade pie crust. Always a hit and never disappoints.
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- 1/3 cup dark brown sugar packed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter melted and cooled
- 1 teaspoon real vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 cups chopped pecans halves
- 1/2 recipe homemade pie crust chilled
Instructions
- Move the rack to the lowest position in your oven and preheat to 375°.
- In a large bowl, whisk eggs, corn syrup, sugars, butter, vanilla and salt until smooth.
- Roughly chop half of the pecans and place in the bottom of prepared (chilled) pie crust. Then top with remaining whole pecans and then pour the filling over top.
- Set the pie onto a rimmed baking sheet and place on the lowest rack in your preheated oven for 45 to 60 minutes or until the center slightly jiggles.
- Cool pie completely before serving.
- Serve with ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
If wanting to avoid corn syrup, I have made this pie using half maple syrup and half honey with success.
