Ingredients

Scale

For the Filling:

1 cup light corn syrup
1 cup packed brown sugar (or 3/4 cup for less sweetness)
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
3 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups pecan halves (plus extra for topping, if desired)

For the Crust:

1 9-inch unbaked pie crust (homemade or store-bought)

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven:

Preheat to 350°F (175°C).

2. Prepare the Pie Crust:

Place the crust in a 9-inch pie dish. Crimp the edges and refrigerate while making the filling.

3. Make the Filling:

In a large bowl, whisk together corn syrup, brown sugar, melted butter, eggs, vanilla, and salt until smooth and glossy.
Stir in the pecan halves.

4. Assemble the Pie:

Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust.
For a prettier look, arrange a few pecan halves on top in a circular pattern.

5. Bake:

Bake for 50–60 minutes, until the center is just set (slightly jiggly is okay).
If the crust or top begins to brown too quickly, cover loosely with foil during the last 15 minutes.

6. Cool:

Let the pie cool completely (at least 2 hours) before slicing. It will firm up as it cools.
