Easy Pecan Pie Recipe

Hi Everyone, homemade pecan pie is a big step up from store-bought pecan pie.

Once you have tasted homemade pecan pie filling, it's hard to feel gratified from store-bought pecan pie again, hence this Easy Pecan Pie Recipe!

All you need is 1 deep dish frozen pie crust (just thaw it a ½ hour before you bake it) which you can pick up in your grocery's frozen dessert section.

They usually come in packs of 2 so you can make 2 pies or save the other for another type of pie, like my Pumpkin Pie recipe.

Ingredients

• 1 9-inch deep-dish frozen pie crust, thawed (take out of the freezer ½ hour before baking)
• 3 large eggs
• 1 cup light corn syrup
• ⅔ cup sugar
• ⅓ cup unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 2 cups halved pecans

Helpful Kitchen Tools for Easy Pecan Pie Recipe

• • large mixing bowl

• baking spatula
• optional: hand held electric mixer
• rimmed baking sheet (to put on the rack below the pie in the oven while it's baking)

Ingredients

• 9 inch deep dish frozen pie crust, thawed (take out of the freezer ½ hour before baking)
• 3 large eggs
• 1 cup light corn syrup
• ⅔ cup granulated white sugar
• ⅓ cup unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 2 cups halved pecans

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine 3 large eggs, corn syrup, granulated white sugar, unsalted butter, and pure vanilla extract. Using a handheld mixer on a low setting, mix well (alternately, you can mix with a wooden spoon or baking spatula).
3. Add 2 cups halved pecans to the mixture and mix until combined.
4. Pour mixture into the deep dish pie crust.
5. Make a foil tent to prevent the crust from browning too fast. Bake for 25 minutes and remove the foil, then bake for another 20-25 minutes. When it's done a knife can be inserted into the middle and should come out clean.
6. When it's done baking, allow the pie to cool on a rack. Refrigerate after 2 hours. Enjoy warm or cold. To get defined slices, refrigerate to allow the pie to firm up.
