Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 350°F.

  2. 2

    Whisk the eggs, corn syrup, sugar, melted butter, and vanilla until smooth.

  3. 3

    Stir in the pecan halves.

  4. 4

    Pour the filling into the unbaked pie crust.

  5. 5

    Bake for 50–55 minutes until the center is just set with a slight jiggle.

  6. 6

    Cool completely on a wire rack for at least 3 hours before slicing.

Chef's tips

Toast the pecans lightly before adding them to boost their flavor. Cover the crust edges loosely with foil if they brown too fast, and let the pie cool completely to set the filling.

Storage

Store covered at room temperature up to 2 days, or refrigerate up to 5 days.

Reheating

Warm individual slices briefly in a low oven if desired.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Underbaking the pie, which leaves the center runny
  • Slicing the pie while it is still warm, making the filling spill out

Serving suggestions

Serve each slice with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.Pair with a hot cup of strong black coffee.
