The Best Pecan Pie Recipe
This is The Best Pecan Pie Recipe you will ever try! A classic, rich, delicious dessert that is perfect after your Thanksgiving Day meal.
Equipment
- Stove top pan
- Pie Plate
- hand mixer
Ingredients
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup dark Karo corn syrup
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 3 eggs
- 2 cups whole pecans
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In a stove top pan, add sugar, dark Karo corn syrup, and salt. Mix together.
- Simmer until sugar is completely dissolved, about 15-20 minutes. To test, dip a teaspoon in the mixture, let cool and taste.
- Add butter and pure vanilla extract. Stir until incorporated.
- Once done, removed from heat and let sit for about 10 minutes or until lukewarm. Then lightly beat the eggs and add them to the stove top pan.
- Using a hand mixer, beat the eggs until incorporated.
- Add pecans, mix together and pour into prepared pie shell.
- Use a pie crust saver or place foil around crust to prevent crust from burning.
- Bake for 50-75 minutes. Baking times may vary. Pie is done when it is not overly jiggly but semi-firm. If pie is still jiggly, continue baking checking every 5 minutes.
- Remove, let cool, cut and serve!
- This pie can be eaten warm (my personal favorite), room temperature or cold. Pick your favorite! Add whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
