Easy Pecan Pie

Print Recipe

Easy Pecan Pie is a classic Southern dessert made simple. With a buttery crust, gooey filling, and toasty pecans, it’s the perfect make-ahead treat for holidays or anytime comfort.

Ingredients

  • Pie Crust: 1 unbaked 9-inch crust – forms the flaky, buttery base
  • Pecans: 1 1/2 cups (halved or chopped) – the crunchy, toasty stars
  • Corn Syrup: 1 cup – gives the filling its signature gooey texture
  • Brown Sugar: 1/2 cup – adds caramel-like depth
  • Eggs: 3 large – bind the filling into custardy perfection
  • Unsalted Butter: 1/4 cup (melted) – adds richness and silkiness
  • Vanilla Extract: 1 1/2 teaspoons – warms up the flavor profile
  • Salt: 1/4 teaspoon – balances the sweetness

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Equipment: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and position rack in the center.
  2. Combine Ingredients: Whisk together corn syrup, brown sugar, melted butter, eggs, vanilla, and salt until smooth.
  3. Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Fit unbaked crust into a 9-inch pie pan and crimp the edges.
  4. Assemble the Dish: Add chopped pecans to the crust, pour filling evenly over them.
  5. Cook to Perfection: Bake 50–60 minutes, until edges are set and center has a slight jiggle.
  6. Finishing Touches: Let cool for at least 2 hours to allow filling to set.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Slice and serve plain or topped with whipped cream or ice cream.

Notes

  • Toast pecans before using to deepen flavor.
  • Protect crust edges with foil halfway through baking.
  • Let pie cool completely for a clean slice.
