Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pie crust
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup corn syrup
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup pecans, chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and position the rack in the center of the oven to ensure even baking.
- Prepare the pie crust by rolling it out and carefully placing it into a 9-inch pie dish. Crimp the edges decoratively and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, corn syrup, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Spread the chopped pecans evenly across the bottom of the prepared pie crust.
- Gently pour the brown sugar mixture over the pecans, ensuring they are completely covered and distributed evenly.
- Sprinkle the salt over the top of the filling to enhance the flavor profile.
- Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
- To prevent over-browning, cover the pie edges with aluminum foil if they start to darken too quickly.
- Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack for at least 2 hours to allow the filling to set properly.
- Serve at room temperature, optionally topped with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
