Equipment

  • 1 Pie Pan
  • 1 Mixer

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Pie Crust Room Temperature
  • 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 Extract

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. If you have convection bake, use this feature.
  • In a greased pie dish, roll out the room temperature pie crust. Pinch edges of the dough to make a rippled edge.
  • In a mixer, add 3 eggs, 2/3 cups of sugar and 1/3 tsp salt. Mix on medium until blended.
  • 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.
  • Break pecan halves in half long ways. This will make it so it is easier to cut the pecan pie.
  • Turn off blender and add the pecan pieces. Mix on lowest setting for 15 seconds.
  • Pour mix into pie crust and put in oven for 40 minutes. Tip: Try to move the pecans away from the center so it is easier to cut.
  • At 40 minutes, cover pie with foil to make sure it does not get too brown.
  • 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. In my oven, on convection, it takes about an hour total.
  • Let cool and serve the family treat within a week.
