Ingredients
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 extra-large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 cup Chopped Pecans
- ¾ cup pecan halves
- 1 unbaked 9 inch pie shell
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Put the pie dough in a 9-inch pie plate and set aside.
- Whisk sugar, corn syrup, butter, and vanilla in a saucepan and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer uncovered for 6 minutes, stirring constantly. (Do not overcook).
- Remove from heat and cool to room temperature. Then, mix in eggs until well blended.
- Place chopped pecans in the unbaked pie shell, and pour the pecan pie filling over the chopped pecans. Arrange the pecan halves, flat side down, on top of the filling.
- Bake until the center no longer jiggles, about 1 hour.
- Applying a crust shield, or aluminum foil, over the exposed pie crust will help keep it from burning. Do not cover the center of the pie.
