Ingredients

• 1 piece Pre-made pie crust
• 2 cups Pecans
• 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups Brown sugar
• 1 cup Light corn syrup
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter
• 3 large Eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

Roll out the pre-made pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim and crimp the edges as desired. Place the pie crust in the refrigerator while you prepare the filling.

Step 3

Roughly chop 1 cup of the pecans, leaving the other cup whole for topping the pie later. Set aside.

Step 4

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, corn syrup, and butter. Stir until the butter is melted and the mixture is smooth.

Step 5

Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly for about 5 minutes.

Step 6

In a large mixing bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Gradually whisk the slightly cooled caramel mixture into the eggs, a little at a time, to temper them and avoid scrambling. Stir in the vanilla extract and salt.

Step 7

Add the chopped pecans to the filling and mix to combine.

Step 8

Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust. Arrange the remaining whole pecans on top for decoration.

Step 9

Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly puffed. If the crust begins to brown too much, cover the edges with aluminum foil.

Step 10

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely at room temperature before slicing. This will allow the filling to set properly.

Step 11

Serve the pie as is, or with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Enjoy!
