Ingredients
- 1 pie crust store-bought or homemade
- 2 cups pecans chopped
- 3 egg lightly beaten, large
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- 1/3 cup butter melted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Place the pie crust onto a lightly floured surface and roll out into a 12 inch circle.
- Once your circle is rolled out, fold the dough in half and pick it up and place into a 9 inch pie plate. Unfold the dough and gently push the dough into the bottom and sides, working out all of the folds.
- Trim the crust that hangs over the side of the pie plate so there’s only ½ inch of overhang.
- Tuck the ½ inch of pie crust that hangs over the side of the pie plate underneath the crust and crimp the edges with your fingers or a fork.
- Add the chopped pecans into the bottom of the pie crust.
- In a large mixing bowl, add in the eggs, vanilla extract, sugar, salt, corn syrup, and melted butter. Stir until combined.
- Pour the mixture on top of the pecans.
- Place the pie in the preheated oven for 1 hour 10 minutes to 1 hour 20 minutes. The edges should be set and the center should very slightly jiggle like a setup jell-o or cheesecake and the center should reach 200 degrees F on a thermometer.
- Cool for at least 3 to 4 hours before serving.
- Cover and store in the refrigerator.

Notes
- If the crust starts to brown too much, cover with a piece of foil or a crust shield.
