"The Best Pecan Pie is made with a flaky pie crust, real butter, dark corn syrup, a touch of cinnamon and fresh pecans. Pronounced Pea-can!"
Old Fashion Pecan Pie
Servings: 6
Prep Time: 10 Minutes
Cook Time: 50 Minutes
Ingredients:
1 (9-inch) frozen pie crust (or refrigerated pie crust, or make your own)
3 large eggs, beaten
1/2 cup white granulated sugar
3 Tablespoons salted butter, melted
1 cup dark corn syrup
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups chopped pecans
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350F degrees.
Take 1 (9-inch) frozen pie crust out of the freezer and place it on a baking sheet while preparing the filling. I like to put the crust on a baking sheet to make it easier to remove it from the oven after it is baked.
In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 large eggs, beaten, 1/2 cup white granulated sugar, 3 Tablespoons salted butter, melted, 1 cup dark corn syrup, 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until thoroughly combined.
Place 1 1/2 cups chopped pecans into the bottom of the pie crust.
Then pour the filling on top of the pecans.
Bake for about 45-50 minutes. Around the 20 minute mark, you may want to add some aluminum foil on top of and around the edges of your pie crust to keep it from getting too brown.
Oven times do vary, but basically, the middle of the pie should be just a tad jiggly when done (not overly jiggly) and the center will puff up a bit.
Cool completely. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream.
Notes:
Leftovers can be stored (covered) on the counter for 2 days, in the refrigerator for up to 5 days and can be frozen for up to 3 months (cover and wrap well to protect against freezer burn.)
