How To Make Pecan Pie From Scratch

1 (9-inch) Pie crust (homemade or store-bought, pre-baked preferred)

1 cup Pecans (halved or chopped)

1 cup Light corn syrup (maple syrup works as a natural substitute)

1 cup Brown sugar (light or dark sugar adds depth)

3 large Eggs (room temperature for better binding)

4 tbsp Unsalted butter (melted and cooled)

1 tsp Vanilla extract (adds flavor depth)

¼ tsp Salt (balances sweetness)

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large bowl, whisk eggs, corn syrup, brown sugar, melted butter, vanilla, and salt until smooth.
Stir in the pecans until evenly coated.
Pour the mixture into your prepared pie crust and smooth the surface.
Bake for 50–55 minutes, until the edges are firm and the center slightly jiggles.
Cool completely at room temperature before serving.
If you notice the crust browning too quickly, loosely cover the edges with foil halfway through baking.
