Classic Pecan Pie, delicious old-fashioned sweet treat made with just a few simple ingredients. Easy recipe, perfect for your holiday dessert table!
Ingredients
- 1 pie crust
- 3 tablespoons salted butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 3 eggs
- 1/2 cup dark corn syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 to 1 1/2 cups pecan halves
Instructions
- First things first, mix up a pie crust... You can make a more traditional roll-out pie crust or an easier shortcut no-roll crust.
- Chill the pie crust 'til you're ready to pour in the filling.
- Pre-heat the oven to 450°.
- Using a mixer, cream together the butter and sugar. And by cream, I mean mix together really well until it becomes a creamy mixture.
- Lightly beat the eggs together. Then mix them into the butter/sugar mixture.
- Add dark corn syrup and vanilla to the mixture, mixing well.
- Stir in the pecans by hand.
- Pour the pie filling into your unbaked pie crust.
- Bake the pie at 450° for about 10 minutes. Then reduce the heat to 350° and bake an additional 30 minutes.
- You may want to use a pie shield or a strip of aluminum foil to keep the edges of your pie crust from getting too dark or burning.
- When your pie is fully cooked through, remove it from the oven and cool on a wire rack.
- Serve each slice with a creamy delicious dollop of whipped cream!
