Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (9 inch) unbaked or frozen pie crust
  • 2 ½ cups pecans, coarsely chopped
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup light or dark corn syrup
  • ¾ cup packed light or dark brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoons melted unsalted butter, slightly cooled
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and position a rack in the lower third.
  2. Place the pecans evenly into the unbaked pie shell.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, corn syrup, brown sugar, melted butter, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
  4. Carefully pour the filling mixture over the pecans, ensuring even distribution.
  5. Tap the pie gently on the counter to release any air bubbles.
  6. Bake for 55 to 60 minutes until the center jiggles slightly but is set around the edges.
  7. Remove from the oven and let it cool for at least 2 hours before slicing.
  8. Top each slice with fresh whipped cream and a pinch of cinnamon if desired.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs for a smooth filling. Toasting the pecans enhances their flavor.
