Decadent Pecan Pie Recipe

The Decadent Pecan Pie is a timeless dessert that brings together rich, caramel flavors and the satisfying crunch of pecans, making it a must-have for any family gathering or festive occasion. This pie is more than just a dessert—it’s a memory in the making, a reason for families to gather around the table, sharing laughs and creating moments. With its golden, buttery crust and gooey center, it’s a slice of comfort that everyone will adore.

Ingredients

• 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust
• 1 cup light corn syrup
• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• 3 large eggs
• 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups pecan halves

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare your pie crust: Roll out the dough on a floured surface and place it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim any excess dough and crimp the edges for a decorative touch.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together the corn syrup, brown sugar, eggs, melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
4. Stir in the pecan halves, ensuring they are evenly coated with the filling mixture.
5. Pour the mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading the pecans out evenly.
6. Bake for 50 to 55 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown. If the crust begins to brown too quickly, cover the edges with aluminum foil.
7. Allow the pie to cool completely before slicing to ensure that the filling sets properly.

Helpful Tips

For a twist, try adding a splash of bourbon or a handful of chocolate chips to the filling mixture. If you’re short on time, use a store-bought crust to speed up the process. To store, cover the pie with plastic wrap and keep it in the refrigerator for up to four days. Reheat slices in the microwave for 20-30 seconds before serving.

Pairings

This decadent pecan pie pairs wonderfully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of freshly whipped cream. For a cozy beverage, serve with a hot cup of coffee or a glass of spiced apple cider.
