Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 refrigerated pie crust
6 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
3/4 cups dark brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup light corn syrup
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon grated orange zest (optional)
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 large eggs
2 cups pecan halves
whipped cream or vanilla ice cream (for serving; optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F
  • Place the pre-made pie crust in a 9 inch pie pan and crimp the edges. Lightly prick bottom of the crust with a fork. Place in the fridge and chill until firm, at least 30 minutes (or freeze no longer than 10 minutes).
  • Melt the butter in a small heavy saucepan over medium heat. Add the sugars, whisking until smooth. Remove from heat and whisk in corn syrup, vanilla, zest (optional), and salt. Lightly beat eggs in a medium bowl, then combine with the corn syrup mixture.
  • Place the pecan halves in the chilled pie shell and then pour the filling mixture evenly over them.
  • Cover your pie with aluminum foil and bake in preheated oven for about 30 minutes.
  • Remove the foil and bake for an additional 20 minutes or until center is set and not overly wiggly. Check it often.
  • Remove from the oven when done and set on a wire rack to cool for about 1 hour, then refrigerate until firm, about 4 hours.
  • Pie can be made 1-2 days ahead and refrigerated until ready to serve.

Tips:

  • Use fresh pecans. Fresh pecans have a sweeter, richer flavor than stale pecans. If you can't find fresh pecans, you can use frozen pecans, but thaw them completely before using.
  • Toast the pecans. Toasting the pecans will bring out their flavor and make them more fragrant. You can toast the pecans in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
  • Use a good quality pie crust. A good quality pie crust will make a big difference in the final product. You can use a store-bought pie crust, but if you have time, it's worth making your own.
  • Don't overfill the pie crust. If you overfill the pie crust, the filling will spill out and make a mess. Fill the pie crust no more than two-thirds full.
  • Bake the pie at a high temperature. Baking the pie at a high temperature will help to set the filling and prevent it from becoming runny.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving. Letting the pie cool completely will allow the filling to firm up and the flavors to meld together.

Conclusion:

With these tips in mind, you'll be able to make a delicious pecan pie that will be the hit of your next party or gathering. So what are you waiting for? Give it a try today!
