Pecan Pie

Irresistible at any time of the year, but a special favorite during the holidays! The pecans will float to the top, forming a firm crust that will brown nicely.

INGREDIENTS

  • Prepared, uncooked pie crust to fit standard pie pan
  • 1 cup dark corn syrup
  • 1 cup coarsely chopped pecan pieces, toasted
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.

  2. Place pie crust in greased pie pan (or, if crust comes in aluminum pie pan, use that); put in oven and brown slightly, 5–10 minutes. Remove.

  3. In a large bowl, beat eggs until foamy. Add sugar, pecans, vanilla, corn syrup, and salt. Mix well.

  4. Pour filling into prepared crust.

  5. Bake pie until top is set, approximately 40–45 minutes.

  6. Transfer pan to a wire rack to cool.
