Equipment
9" pie pan
mixing bowl

Ingredients
1 unbaked frozen 9-inch pie crust*
1½ cups coarsely chopped pecans 180g
1 cup dark corn syrup 240mL/350g
¾ cup granulated sugar 150g
3 large eggs
4 tablespoons unsalted butter melted (57g)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
¾ teaspoon salt

Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 425F.
2. Place the frozen pie crust on a baking sheet and fill it with the chopped pecans.
3. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the corn syrup, sugar, eggs, melted butter,
vanilla, and salt until well combined. Pour over the pecans. (If desired, place additional
pecan halves on top in a decorative pattern.)

minutes or until the filling is puffed and the center wobbles slightly when gently shaken.

Loosely tent with foil at any time during baking if the crust is browning too quickly. Let
cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.

Notes
*If using my homemade pie crust recipe, you’ll make two 9-inch pie crusts worth of
dough. You can tightly wrap and freeze one disc of dough for up to 3 months- just thaw
in the fridge for 24 hours before using. Roll out the pie dough, fill the pie pan and crimp
the edge as desired. Freeze for at least 20 minutes before making the pecan pie recipe.
In a rush? You can use a store-bought pie crust instead of making the pecan pie’s crust
from scratch. While my homemade version is much more buttery and flaky, a store-
bought one will work in a pinch!
This recipe makes enough filling to fill a standard deep-dish pie. If using a shallow pan or
premade frozen crust, you will have a bit extra. Or, you can add another ½ cup of pecans
and fill two shallow pie crusts.
If you’re using a ceramic pie dish with a homemade pie crust, you may want to blind-bake
the pie dough before filling it. Ceramic dishes tend to insulate a bit more and could leave
you with a slightly underdone crust. Follow my recipe on how to blind bake a pie crust for
instructions!
I like to use a glass baking dish for the pie as you can easily check the crust and see how
it looks.
You can use light corn syrup instead of dark corn syrup, but the filling will taste less rich.
Serve the pie with a dollop of my homemade whipped cream or vanilla ice cream!
Keep a close eye on the pie crust as it bakes. If the pie crust is browning too quickly,
loosely tent the pie with foil or add a pie crust shield around the edges to protect it.
When measuring corn syrup, you can spray a little non-stick in the measuring cups, so
the syrup slides right out.
