Easy Pecan Pie


1. Preheat the Oven

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Roll out the pie crust and place it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim and crimp the edges as desired. Set aside.

2. Make the Filling

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs until lightly beaten.
  2. Add the corn syrup, brown sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
  3. Stir in the pecan halves or chopped pecans gently, ensuring they’re evenly distributed in the mixture.

3. Assemble the Pie

  1. Pour the pecan filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly.
  2. Optional: Arrange additional pecan halves on top of the filling for a decorative touch.

4. Bake

  1. Place the pie on a baking sheet (to catch any drips) and bake in the preheated oven for 50–60 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly puffed around the edges but still slightly jiggly in the center.
  2. If the crust begins to brown too quickly, cover the edges with aluminum foil or a pie shield.

5. Cool and Serve

  1. Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack (about 2 hours). The filling will continue to set as it cools.
  2. Slice and serve at room temperature or chilled, depending on your preference.
  3. Enjoy every bite of this rich, nutty, and gooey pie!
  4. Perfect as a standalone dessert or paired with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for an indulgent treat.

Tips for Success

  • Use Fresh Pecans: Fresh pecans have a richer flavor and crunchier texture compared to stale ones.
  • Switch Sweeteners: Substitute maple syrup or honey for part of the corn syrup for a unique twist.
  • Add Bourbon: Stir in 1–2 tablespoons of bourbon for a sophisticated flavor enhancement.
  • Store Leftovers: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the fridge for up to 5 days. Reheat slices gently in the microwave if desired.
