Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 9-inch Unbaked pie crust
- 1 cup Light corn syrup
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1.5 cups Pecans, chopped
- 0.25 cup Heavy cream
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Place the unbaked 9-inch pie crust into a pie dish and set aside.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the light corn syrup, brown sugar, and butter. Stir frequently until the mixture is smooth and begins to boil. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until lightly beaten. Gradually add the cooled sugar mixture, whisking continuously to prevent the eggs from cooking.
Stir in the vanilla extract, flour, and salt until fully combined.
Fold in the chopped pecans and heavy cream, mixing until evenly incorporated.
Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown. Check after 30 minutes and cover the edges of the crust with foil if browning too quickly.
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
Slice and serve plain, or with a dollop of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for added indulgence.
