Ingredients

Scale

Pie Crust:

  • 1 (9-inch) unbaked or frozen pie crust

Filling:

  • 2 ½ cups coarsely chopped pecans
  • 3 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1 cup light corn syrup (or dark corn syrup)
  • ¾ cup packed light or dark brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the pecans in the unbaked pie shell, spreading them out evenly.
  2. Mix Filling: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, corn syrup, brown sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
  3. Fill Pie: Pour the mixture over the pecans in the pie crust.
  4. Bake: Bake the pie for 55-60 minutes or until the center is just slightly jiggly and the edges are set. Keep an eye on the pie as it bakes to ensure it doesn’t overcook.
  5. Cool and Serve: Allow the pie to cool for at least 2 hours before slicing to ensure it sets properly.
