PECAN PIE RECIPE

Sometimes the simplest recipes are the best. Take this easy pecan pie recipe. You can literally have it in the oven in 5 minutes!

I love these Pecan Pie Bars and this Pecan Pie Cobbler but when it comes to Thanksgiving pies, the traditional pecan pie is what I want.

INGREDIENTS

  • PECANS – Pecan halves are what I use here. I like to do a mixture of whole pecans and some chopped pecans.
  • BROWN SUGAR – You can use white sugar too but I like the caramel tones of brown in the sweet filling.
  • CORN SYRUP – You can use light or dark corn syrup for the pecan pie filling.
  • BUTTER 
  • VANILLA EXTRACT
  • EGGS
  • PIE CRUST – I like to use a homemade crust because it yields a super flaky crust. You could definitely use a store-bought pie crust.

HOW TO MAKE THIS

    1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Roll out the pie crust with a rolling pin on a lightly floured surface and place the pie crust in a 9 inch pie pan, crimping the edges. pecan pie
    2. In a large bowl, stir corn syrup, sugar, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla together until combined well.pecan pie
    3. Place pecans in a single layer on the bottom of the crust. pecan piePour mixture into pie crust.
    4. Bake pie for 45-55 minutes. Center of the pie should not be jiggly. Make sure pie does not brown too much. If it is getting too brown place cover loosely with foil.
    5. Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
    6. Serve chilled, room temperature, or slightly warm with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream. It’s easiest to slice the pie when chilled. You can slice the pie and then warm if desired but I like to serve it at room temperature. Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or freeze entire pie up to one month.pecan pie

And you must eat this with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream.

MAKE AHEAD

Make this pie ahead of time and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or freeze entire pie up to one month.
