Ingredients

The following ingredients have 8 Servings
  • 1 pie crust recipe
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup light corn syrup ((312 grams))
  • ⅔ cup packed light or dark brown sugar ((142 grams))
  • ⅓ cup unsalted butter (, melted (75 grams))
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 ¼ cup pecan halves ((250 grams))

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350°F and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
  • Roll out one half (see Note) of the prepared pie dough on a lightly floured surface, into a rough 15-inch circle. Transfer to a 9-inch pie dish and trim edges to a 1-inch overhang. Tuck overhang under and use your thumb and finger to create a crimped edge. Place pie shell on the prepared sheet pan.
  • In bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, or in a bowl with a hand mixer, combine the eggs, corn syrup, brown sugar, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix on medium high speed until well combined. Stir in the pecans.
  • Gently pour the mixture into the prepared pie shell. Bake until the edges are completely set and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean, about 45-55 minutes. Let cool before serving, serve warm or at room temperature with whipped cream, if desired.
