Ingredients
- 1 inch pie crust homemade or store-bought
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup corn syrup
- ¼ cup unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- 4 large eggs
- 1 ¼ cups Chopped Pecans
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F degrees.
- On a floured surface, roll out the chilled pie dough with a floured rolling pin. Lightly flour the inside of a 9-inch pie plate, then transfer the pie dough to the pie plate.
- Lightly flour the inside of the dough, fold over the edges, and place in the fridge as you make the filling.
- In a medium saucepan melt together the sugar, corn syrup and butter until the sugar is no longer grainy.
- Dissolve the cornstarch in the water, whisk into the sugar mixture.
- Remove the sugar mixture from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and cinnamon.
- In a medium bowl whisk the eggs. Then whisk 2-3 tablespoons of the sugar and corn syrup mixture into the eggs.
- Whisk the egg mixture into the remaining sugar and corn syrup mixture.
- Spread the pecans into the bottom of your prepared pie dough, then pour the filling mixture over top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, placing a piece of aluminum foil or a pie shield over top after about 30 minutes to prevent the crust from burning.
- Allow the pie to cool and set at room temperature for at least 4 hours before serving.
