Pecan Pie Recipe
This delicious, homemade pecan pie recipe requires only 8 ingredients, including store-bought pie crust for a sweet and salty delicious dessert.
Serving8 slices
Ingredients
- 1 9 inch deep dish frozen pie crust, thawed
- 1 cup brown sugar
- ⅓ cup butter, melted
- ¾ cup corn syrup
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 3 eggs
- 2 cups pecan halves, divided
- 1 cup whipped cream, optional topping
Instructions
- Set pie crust out to thaw the night before, in the refrigerator, or set out at room temperature, until thawed.
- Place pie crust on a baking sheet and set aside.
- Preheat oven to 375℉
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together brown sugar, melted butter, corn syrup, salt and eggs.
- Coarsely chop 1 ½ cups of pecan halves and fold into the pie filling.
- Pour filling into pie crust.
- Top with remaining pecan halves.
- Place pie in the center of a baking sheet and bake for 35-40 minutes or until the center is set.
- Let cool and store in the refrigerator before serving.
- Top with whipped cream, if desired.
Notes
- Use foil on the edges if you notice them starting to darken.
- Since we are not blind baking the pie crust, place the pie on a lower rack. The crust and filling will cook more evenly, and the edges should not cook as fast (in theory, foil on the edges should not be necessary).
- To get perfect slices, allow the pie to rest completely. The center should be soft but sturdy enough to hold its shape.
