Ingredients
- 1 pie crust
- 1 cup corn syrup
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1½ cups pecans, coarsely chopped
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, whisk together corn syrup, eggs, sugar, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Stir in the chopped pecans and a pinch of salt using a wooden spoon.
- Pour the filling into the prepared, uncooked pie crust.
- Bake on the center rack of the oven for 60 to 70 minutes, or until the center springs back when tapped.
- If the pie crust edges begin to brown too quickly, cover them with foil to prevent burning.
- Remove from oven and let cool on a wire rack for 2 hours before serving.
Notes
- Use a store-bought or homemade pie crust depending on your preference.
- Let the pie cool completely to ensure the filling sets properly.
