Ingredients

  • 1 unbaked pie crust (homemade or store-bought)
  • 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 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 cups pecan halves

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Fit the pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish 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 pecan halves. Pour filling into the prepared crust.
  4. Optionally, arrange extra pecans decoratively on top.
  5. Bake for 50–60 minutes, until the center is set and slightly puffed. If the crust browns too quickly, cover the edges with foil.
  6. Cool completely on a wire rack before slicing—about 2 hours.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add 1 tbsp bourbon to the filling.
  • Swap part of the corn syrup with maple syrup or stir in chocolate chips.
  • Sprinkle flaky sea salt on top after baking for a sweet-salty contrast.
  • Use chopped pecans for a smoother texture.
  • Pie can be made 1 day ahead and tastes even better after resting.
