Ingredients
- 1 9-inch pie crust unbaked
- 1 1/2 cups pecan halves
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup melted butter cooled
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Heat the oven to 350°F. Place the unbaked crust in a pie plate and arrange the pecans evenly over the bottom.
Whisk the eggs, corn syrup, sugar, melted butter, vanilla, and salt until smooth.
Pour the filling over the pecans and gently settle the nuts so they remain distributed.
Bake for 50 to 55 minutes, until the center is set with a slight wobble. Cool completely before slicing.
