Description
This golden, gooey pecan pie is a true Southern treasure—crunchy on top, silky in the center, and nestled in a flaky, buttery crust. It’s the kind of dessert that turns a regular dinner into a celebration. Serve it warm with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla, and watch it disappear.
Ingredients
1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust (homemade or store-bought)
1 cup light corn syrup
1 cup packed brown sugar
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon salt
1 ½ cups pecan halves
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large bowl, whisk together corn syrup, brown sugar, melted butter, eggs, vanilla, and salt until smooth.
Stir in pecans and pour mixture into the pie crust.
Bake for 50–60 minutes, until the center is just set and the top is beautifully golden.
Cool completely before slicing to allow filling to firm up.
Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
