Sink into the warmth and sweetness of this classic Perfectly Cozy Pecan Pie, featuring a rich, buttery filling nestled in a flaky crust and topped with crunchy pecan halves. This timeless dessert is perfect for cozy evenings and special occasions alike.

Ingredients

Scale

Pie Crust

  • 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust

Filling

  • 1 cup light corn syrup
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • ⅓ cup melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1½ cups pecan halves
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the optimal temperature for baking the pie evenly.
  2. Prepare Pie Crust: Roll out your unbaked pie crust gently and place it into a 9-inch pie plate. Crimp the edges decoratively to hold the filling securely and add a charming finish.
  3. Mix Filling: In a medium bowl, whisk together the light corn syrup, packed brown sugar, eggs, melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt until the mixture is smooth and well combined, ensuring a consistent filling texture.
  4. Assemble Pie: Evenly scatter the pecan halves across the bottom of the prepared pie crust to create a crunchy nut layer. Pour the sugar mixture over the pecans, making sure the pecans are well coated and distributed evenly.
  5. Bake the Pie: Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips and bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 55 minutes, or until the filling is set and the pie turns a golden brown color.
  6. Cool: Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing to ensure the filling sets properly and clean slices can be made.

Notes

  • Use light corn syrup for the classic texture and flavor, but you can substitute with golden syrup if unavailable.
  • Let the pie cool completely to room temperature to allow the filling to fully set.
  • Store leftover pie covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • For an extra touch, serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
  • Make sure not to overbake as it can cause the filling to become too firm and crack.
