Calories: 426kcal
Equipment
- 9-inch Pie Dish
- Parchment Paper and Pie Weights
- Measuring Cups and Spoons
- Medium Bowl
- Spatula
- Cooling Rack
- Rolling Pin If making your own pie crust
Ingredients
- 1 9- inch unbaked pie crust thawed as per instructions or our homemade pie crust
- ¾ cup golden corn syrup
- 100 grams granulated sugar about ½ cup
- ½ stick butter unsalted and melted
- 25 grams dark brown sugar about 2 tbsp
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs lightly beaten
- ½ cup pecans chopped
- ½ cup pecan halves for topping
Instructions
- Set your oven to 425F. For a homemade crust, dust your counter with flour and roll the dough to about ⅛-inch thick. Transfer to a 9-inch pie dish, leaving roughly ¾-inch overhang. Fold the edges upward, then crimp to shape.
- Line the crust with parchment and fill with pie weights. Blind bake for 5-10 minutes. If using a store-bought crust, thaw according to the package and prebake the same way.
- In a medium mixing bowl add corn syrup, granulated sugar, melted butter (slightly cooled), dark brown sugar, salt and vanilla and mix well with a spatula until all the butter is absorbed.
- Add eggs and mix until fully combined. Then add chopped pecans and mix to incorporate. Pour into pie crust and top with pecan halves.
- Bake for 10 minutes and then reduce the heat to 350F. Bake for another 30-35 minutes (if the center should be slightly jiggly and will set as it cools) and allow it to cool on a cooling rack.
Notes
- Always be sure to allow adequate time for your pie to cool. This allows the filling to truly set up making for a beautiful slice that will hold up once cut.
- Keeping in mind all ovens can run a bit differently, if needed, use a pie shield to prevents the edges from over-browning during the long bake time.
- Lightly beat the eggs; overmixing can lead to a pudding-like texture on top.
- Ovens vary, if the top is browning too fast, tent loosely with foil.
- Putting the pecans in the filling last ensures they stay intact and crunchy in the filling.
