Easy Classic Pecan Pie Recipe
A quintessential American holiday dessert featuring a buttery crust, a rich, amber-colored gooey filling, and toasted chopped pecans. This recipe uses a gentle heat method to ensure a perfectly smooth texture every time.
Ingredients
1/2 (15-oz.) package refrigerated piecrusts
4 large eggs
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 cup light corn syrup
1/2 cup butter or margarine, melted
1/4 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/4 tsp. kosher salt
1 cup pecans, coarsely chopped
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Unfold 1 piecrust and roll to press out fold lines. Fit into a 9-inch pie plate; fold edges under and crimp.
2. Whisk together eggs, granulated sugar, corn syrup, melted butter, brown sugar, vanilla, and salt in a saucepan over low heat for 1 to 2 minutes until well blended.
3. Pour the filling into the prepared piecrust.
4. Sprinkle the coarsely chopped pecans evenly over the filling.
5. Bake at 350°F on the lower rack for 60 minutes or until set. Tent with foil during the last 15 minutes to prevent over-browning. Let cool completely for 2 hours before slicing.
Notes
For extra depth, toast the pecans in a dry skillet for 3 minutes before adding to the pie.
Ensure the pie is cooled completely; the filling continues to set as it reaches room temperature.
Serve with a dollop of unsweetened whipped cream to balance the sweetness.
