A Southern classic made simple—this pecan pie features a buttery crust, gooey filling, and toasted pecans for the ultimate holiday dessert.

Ingredients

1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust

1½ cups pecans (halved or chopped)

1 cup corn syrup

½ cup brown sugar

3 large eggs

¼ cup unsalted butter, melted

1½ tsp vanilla extract

¼ tsp salt

Instructions

Preheat oven: Preheat to 350°F (175°C) and place oven rack in center.

Mix filling: In a bowl, whisk together corn syrup, brown sugar, melted butter, eggs, vanilla, and salt until smooth.

Prepare crust: Fit unbaked crust into a 9-inch pie pan, crimping edges.

Assemble: Spread pecans evenly in crust, then pour filling over top.

Bake: Bake 50–60 minutes, until edges are set and center has a slight jiggle. Cover edges with foil if browning too quickly.

Cool & serve: Cool at least 2 hours before slicing. Serve plain or with whipped cream/ice cream.

Notes

Toast pecans beforehand for deeper flavor.

Shield crust edges halfway through to prevent over-browning.

Allow pie to cool fully for neat slices.
