Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour (for pie crust)
- ½ cup unsalted butter (for pie crust)
- Pinch of salt (for pie crust)
- Cold water (for pie crust)
- 1 cup pecans
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup corn syrup
- 4 large eggs
- ¼ cup melted unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- If you’re using a store-bought crust, place it in a 9-inch pie pan. For a homemade crust, combine 1 ½ cups of all-purpose flour, ½ cup of unsalted butter, and a pinch of salt. Add cold water gradually until you achieve a dough. Roll it out and fit it into your pie pan.
- Spread the pecans on a baking sheet and toast them in the preheated oven for about 8-10 minutes until fragrant.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup of brown sugar, 1 cup of granulated sugar, ½ cup of corn syrup, 4 large eggs, ¼ cup of melted unsalted butter, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth.
- Fold the toasted pecans into the filling mixture gently, making sure they are evenly distributed.
- Pour the pecan filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly.
- Place the pie in the oven and bake for 60-70 minutes until the filling is set but slightly jiggly in the center and the crust is golden brown.
- Once baked, remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before slicing.
