- 2 ½ cups pecans coarsely chopped
- 3 large eggs

- ¾ cup packed light or dark brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons melted butter (slightly cooled)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Add pecans to unbaked pie crust.
- In a large bowl whisk together eggs, corn syrup, brown sugar, melted butter, vanilla and cinnamon. Pour the mixture over the pecans.
- Bake for 55-60 minutes or until the center has just a slight jiggle but the edges are stable and set. Cool at least 2 hours before slicing.
Notes
- If you have the time make a delicious homemade piecrust. Simply cut the recipe in half since it is for a double crust. It won’t take long at all and your guests will be so impressed with your cooking.
- Don’t chop your pecan halves too much. Just a quick coarse chop. There should still be whole halves and some quarters.
- The pie should still be ever so slightly jiggly in the middle when it it is done however the outside should be set and steady.
- For the ultimate pleasure top with fresh whipped cream and a pinch of cinnamon.
- Once cooled store the pecan pie covered in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
