Ingredients
- 1 9-inch shell Pie crust (unbaked)
- 1.5 cups Pecans
- 3 pieces Large eggs
- 1 cup Light corn syrup
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
Place the unbaked 9-inch pie crust into a pie dish and crimp the edges if needed. Set aside.
Step 3
Spread the pecans evenly over the bottom of the pie crust.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until they are well beaten.
Step 5
Add the corn syrup, granulated sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt to the beaten eggs. Mix until fully combined and smooth.
Step 6
Pour the filling mixture over the pecans in the pie crust, ensuring the pecans are evenly distributed and coated.
Step 7
Place the pie dish on the center rack of the preheated oven.
Step 8
Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly puffed, and a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
Step 9
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack (about 2-3 hours) to allow the filling to set properly.
Step 10
Slice and serve your Old Fashion Pecan Pie as is or with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
