Recipe type: Pie
Cuisine: Dessert
Serves: 8-10 slices
Ingredients
  • 1 unbaked homemade or frozen pie crust (9 inch). I prefer using the Pillsbury frozen deep-dish crust.
  • 1 cup light corn syrup
  • 1 cup dark brown sugar, packed
  • 3 eggs
  • ⅓ cup butter, melted
  • ½ tsp salt, scant tsp
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 cup pecan halves
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place pie crust on a cookie sheet and set aside.
  2. In a medium size mixing bowl, whisk together the corn syrup, brown sugar and melted butter.
  3. Whisk in the eggs, salt and vanilla.
  4. Pour mixture into the unbaked pie crust.
  5. Carefully place the pecan halves on the surface of the filling in a circular pattern.
  6. Place the cookie sheet with the pie on top in the oven. This will keep any filling off the bottom of your oven and make it much easier and safer to remove the pie out of the oven.
  7. Bake at 350 degrees for 55-65 minutes. Don't forget to lightly cover pie with foil 30 minutes into the baking time.
  8. The pie is done when the top forms a slight dome and can be gently touched without caving in.
  9. At that point, remove from oven and let set until cooled completely. Once cooled, keep refrigerated.
  10. Enjoy!
