Instructions

  1. Before You Start: (1) If using a frozen pie crust, be sure to allow the crust to thaw before filling and baking (2) have the eggs at room temperature, and (3) preheat the oven to 350°F.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, use a spoon to mix the corn syrup, eggs, sugar, butter, and vanilla.
  3. Stir in pecans.
  4. Place the unbaked pie crust on a baking sheet. Pour the filling into the pie crust.
  5. Bake on the center rack of the oven for 60 to 70 minutes.
  6. Cool for 2 hours on a wire rack before serving.
  7. Serve plain or with a dollop of whipped cream.

Notes

  • You’ll know the pie is done baking when a thermometer inserted into the center reads at least 200°F and the center springs back when lightly touched.
  • When completely cooled, wrap the leftovers in plastic wrap or aluminum foil and store in the fridge for up to 4 days. May also be frozen, well wrapped in aluminum foil, for up to one month.
  • To reheat, thaw (if frozen) overnight. Warm in a 300°F oven for 10-15 minutes if desired.
