Classic Pecan Pie is such a great Southern treat that is incredibly easy and delicious with loads of buttery pecans baked up in a soft filling made with eggs, butter, and sugar. It has a total of eight easy ingredients and if using a frozen or premade crust you can have it in the oven in less than ten minutes.
What you need:
1 (9 inch) unbaked or frozen pie crust
2 ½ cups pecans coarsely chopped
3 large eggs room temperature
1 cup light corn syrup or dark corn syrup
¾ cup packed light or dark brown sugar
3 tablespoons melted unsalted butter (slightly cooled)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
Lets get started:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Add pecans to the unbaked pie shell.
In a large bowl stir together the eggs, corn syrup, brown sugar, melted butter, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt. Pour the mixture over the pecans.
Bake for 55-60 minutes or until the center has just a slight jiggle but the edges are stable and set. Cool for at least 2 hours before slicing.
