CLASSIC PECAN PIE
Quick and simple recipe. I couldn't tell you where I found it but it's been a winner in my home for years. I use half light corn syrup and half dark corn syrup. I also use a Graham Cracker crust instead of a classic crust. Hope you like it. Vanilla Ice Cream goes really well with it when it's warm also.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Mix corn syrup, eggs, sugar, butter and vanilla using a spoon. Stir in pecans. Pour filling into pie crust. Bake on center rack of oven for 60 to 70 minutes (see tips for doneness, below). Cool for 2 hours on wire rack before serving. **To use prepared frozen pie crust: Place cookie sheet in oven and preheat oven as directed. Pour filling into frozen crust and bake on preheated cookie sheet. RECIPE TIPS: Pie is done when center reaches 200°F. Tap center surface of pie lightly - it should spring back when done. For easy clean up, spray pie pan with cooking spray before placing pie crust in pan. If pie crust is overbrowning, cover edges with foil. NUTRITION TIP: To reduce calories, substitute new Karo® Lite Syrup for the Karo® Light or Dark Corn Syrup. High Altitude Adjustments: Reduce sugar to 2/3 cup and increase butter to 3 tablespoons. Reduce oven temperature to 325°F. VARIATION: coarsely chopped walnuts may be substituted for pecans to make a walnut pie.

- Toast the pecans before using them. This will enhance their flavor and make them more fragrant.
- Don't overmix the filling. Overmixing can make the filling tough.
- Bake the pie until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown. Overbaking can dry out the pie.
- Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will allow the filling to set properly.
