Utensils & Equipment

  • 1 9-inch deep dish pie plate
  • 1 wire cooling rack
  • 1 medium mixing bowl
  • 1 wire whisk

Ingredients List

  • 1 Pillsbury pie crust
  • 1 1/2 cups pecans halves or pieces
  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup light corn syrup
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/3 cup butter melted
  • 3 large eggs

Instructions

Preheat Oven

  • Preheat the oven to 375℉.
  • Place a cookie sheet large enough to hold the pie on the middle rack of the oven. This is to preheat the cooking sheet.

Mix Ingredients

  • In medium bowl beat together the corn syrup, eggs, melted butter, and salt.
  • Stir in the brown sugar and beat well.
  • Add the pecans and stir together until thoroughly blended.
  • Using a spatula, spread the pecan mixture in the pie plate and distribute evenly.

Bake

  • Place the pie on the preheated baking sheet and bake at 375℉ for 50 - 55 minutes.
  • If you don't want the crust to be too dark, remove the pie after 15 minutes and crimp aluminum foil around the edges. Continue baking for the remainder of the 50 - 55 minutes.
  • Pie is done when the crust is light brown and the center is mostly set. If you shake the cookie sheet, the center of the pie should have a slight jiggle.

Cool Down

  • Allow the pie to cool on a wire cooling rack for 30 minutes then place in refrigerator uncovered for 2 hours.
  • Hot pies should never be moved directly from the oven to the refrigerator. This causes condensation (moisture) to form on the top of the pie and makes the crust soggy.
