Pecan Pie is a timeless dessert that brings sweet, nutty warmth to any table. The rich, gooey filling sets into a silky layer over a crisp crust, with toasted pecans adding crunch and depth—perfect for holidays or whenever you crave indulgence.

Ingredients

  • 1 unbaked pie crust (homemade or store-bought)
  • 1 1/2 cups pecans (halved or chopped)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup light corn syrup
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Roll out the pie crust into a 9-inch pie pan and crimp the edges.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, corn syrup, brown sugar, granulated sugar, melted butter, vanilla, and salt until smooth.
  3. Stir in the pecans until evenly coated.
  4. Pour the mixture into the unbaked pie crust and spread it out evenly.
  5. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, until the center is set and the top is golden and slightly puffy.
  6. Cool completely before slicing to allow the filling to set properly.

Notes

  • Add a splash of bourbon for a spiced twist.
  • Stir in dark chocolate chips for a chocolate pecan pie.
  • Use a mix of chopped and whole pecans for varied texture.
  • For a gluten-free version, use a gluten-free pie crust.
  • Let cool at least 2 hours before slicing for clean pieces.
