Ingredients

• Pie Crust 
• 3 Eggs
• 2/3 Cup Granulated Sugar
• 1/3 Tsp Salt
• 1/3 Cup Melted Salted Butter
• 1 Cup Dark Corn Syrup
• 1 1/2 Cup Pecan Halves 
• 1 Tbsp vanilla 
• A mixer
• 

How to

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. If you have convection bake, use this feature.
2. In a greased pie dish, roll out the room temperature pie crust. Pinch edges of the dough to make a rippled edge.
3. In a mixer, add 3 eggs, 2/3 cups of sugar and 1/3 tsp salt. Mix on medium until blended.
4. Turn down to low and add in 1/3 cup melted butter, 1 cup of dark corn syrup & 1 tbsp of vanilla extract. Blend until smooth.
5. Break pecan halves in half long ways. This will make it so it is easier to cut the pecan pie. If you choose to do full pieces, it is hard to get a pretty looking piece out.
6. Turn off blender and add the pecan pieces. Mix on lowest setting for 15 seconds.

1. Pour mix into pie crust and put in oven for 40 minutes.
2. At 40 minutes, cover pie with foil to make sure it does not get too brown.
3. Cook for an additional 15 minutes. Check the pie. If you jiggle the pie, you want it to move a little but not jiggle like it is made out of pudding. If it is too jiggly, add an additional 8 minutes.
4. In my oven, on convection, it takes about an hour total.
5. Let cool and serve the family treat within a week. It holds up really well since it’s basically sugar and nuts.
