Ingredients

• 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust
• 1 cup light corn syrup
• ¾ cup sugar (white or brown)
• ¼ cup melted butter
• 3 large eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• ¼ tsp salt
• 2 cups pecan halves

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a bowl, whisk corn syrup, sugar, melted butter, eggs, vanilla, and salt until smooth.
3. Stir in pecans.
4. Pour filling into pie crust.
5. Bake 50–55 minutes, until center is just set.
   • If crust browns too fast, cover edges with foil.
6. Cool completely before slicing (it sets as it cools).

Tips & Variations

• Deeper flavor: Use half brown sugar and add 1 tbsp bourbon or maple syrup.
• Less sweet: Replace ¼ cup corn syrup with heavy cream.
• Chocolate pecan pie: Add ½ cup chocolate chips.
• Serve with: Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

If you’d like a no-corn-syrup, old-fashioned, or mini pecan pie version, I can share that too!
