How to make it

7 steps. Take it one step at a time.

  1. Preheat your oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C).

  2. Place the unbaked pie crust

    Place the unbaked pie crust into a 9-inch pie plate and crimp the edges as desired.

  3. Whisk together the beaten eggs, corn syrup, sugar, melted butter

    In a medium bowl, whisk together the beaten eggs, corn syrup, sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.

  4. Stir in the pecan halves

    Stir in the pecan halves until they are well coated by the mixture.

  5. Pour the filling

    Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust. Arrange pecans on top for a decorative look if desired.

  6. Bake in the preheated oven

    Bake in the preheated oven at 350°F (177°C) for 60 to 70 minutes. The pie is done when the edges are set and the center has a slight jiggle.

A little kitchen wisdom

Toast the pecans in a dry pan for 3-5 minutes before adding to the filling to enhance their nutty flavor. Always allow the pie to cool completely for at least 2 hours to ensure the filling sets perfectly.
