Easy Pecan Pie Recipe (without corn syrup)
Description
Easy Pecan Pie Recipe (without corn syrup) features a filling that blends eggs and melted butter with brown and granulated sugars to achieve sweetness and texture. Chopped pecans provide crunch and nuttiness throughout the custard. Flour stabilizes the filling, while milk and vanilla add moisture and flavor. Baking starts at a higher temperature of 400°F for 15 minutes to set the crust edges and jumpstart cooking, then lowers to 350°F to finish baking for 35 minutes.
The pie is done when the filling is mostly set but still shows slight wiggle in the center; it firms completely as it cools. Toasting pecans beforehand can enhance their crunch and flavor, but is optional.
This pie makes a traditional dessert suitable for holidays or gatherings and should be cooled thoroughly before slicing for clean cuts. It can be served as is or with whipped cream or ice cream.
Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to four days tightly covered. It also freezes well wrapped in plastic and foil for up to two months. Thaw completely in the refrigerator before serving.
Ingredients
- 2 egg
- ½ cup butter melted
- 1 ¼ cups pecans chopped
- 1 cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 ½ tablespoons all-purpose flour

- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions
