Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup sugar - Adds sweetness and helps form the pie’s gooey texture.
  • 3 eggs - Provide structure and richness.
  • 2 tablespoon butter melted - Adds flavor and a silky texture.
  • 1 cup corn syrup light or dark - Light for a delicate sweetness, dark for a deeper caramel flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract - Enhances all the other flavors.
  • 1 deep frozen pie crust - Saves time without sacrificing taste.
  • 6.5 oz package of pecan pieces or halves - Gives the pie its signature crunch and nutty flavor.

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a large bowl, mix sugar, eggs, melted butter, corn syrup, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  • Pour the mixture into the frozen pie crust.
  • Arrange the pecan pieces or halves evenly over the top.
  • Bake for 45-50 minutes or until the filling is set.
  • Let the pie cool before serving.

Notes

  • Use light corn syrup for a milder flavor or dark for a richer taste.
  • Check the pie after 40 minutes to avoid overbaking.
  • Let the pie cool completely for easier slicing.
