Classic Pecan Pie
Savor the classic pecan pie, a beloved Southern dessert. Made with Karo syrup, brown sugar, and pecans, it's a holiday treat that's sure to please.
Ingredients
- 1 9-inch pie shell, homemade or from refrigerated sheet, unbaked
- 1 cup corn syrup, light
- 3/4 cup brown sugar, dark or light
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 cups pecans, halves
Instructions
- Prepare a pie crust either from scratch or with refrigerated pie pastry. Chill while making the filling.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Whisk the corn syrup with the brown sugar, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla in a large bowl until well blended.
- Add the pecans and mix until incorporated in the syrup mixture.
- Pour the pecan mixture into the pie shell and gently spread.
- Bake for 1 hour to 1 hour and 10 minutes, checking the crust for browning after about 50 minutes. Protect the crust with a pie shield or foil if necessary. When done, the edges of the pie will be bubbling and the crust should be golden brown.
- Transfer the baked pie to a rack to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate the pie for an hour or two until cool enough to slice.
- Serve pecan pie with ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
