Ingredients
- 1 refrigerated pie crust
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- 3/4 cups dark brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup light corn syrup
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon grated orange zest optional
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 large eggs
- 2 cups pecan halves
- whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for serving; optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F
- Place the pre-made pie crust in a 9 inch pie pan and crimp the edges. Lightly prick bottom of the crust with a fork. Place in the fridge and chill until firm, at least 30 minutes (or freeze no longer than 10 minutes).
- Melt the butter in a small heavy saucepan over medium heat. Add the sugars, whisking until smooth. Remove from heat and whisk in corn syrup, vanilla, zest (optional), and salt. Lightly beat eggs in a medium bowl, then combine with the corn syrup mixture.
- Place the pecan halves in the chilled pie shell and then pour the filling mixture evenly over them.
- Cover your pie with aluminum foil and bake in preheated oven for about 30 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for an additional 20 minutes or until center is set and not overly wiggly. Check it often.
- Remove from the oven when done and set on a wire rack to cool for about 1 hour, then refrigerate until firm, about 4 hours.
- Pie can be made 1-2 days ahead and refrigerated until ready to serve.
