Did you know that pecan pie is one of the most popular pies in North America? According to Tasteatlas, it is ranked 4th for top pies in North America. I can see why it is ranked so high. It is such a classic pie to eat.
So during the holidays when you are thinking of the pies to make, put this easy pecan pie on your list! And it is so simple to make with just a handful of ingredients, that are easy to find. If I can do it, you can do it. Let’s get baking!
Ingredients
Instructions
Begin by making your favorite homemade pie crust, or remove the frozen premade pie crust from the freezer. Or unroll the refrigerated pie crust and fit in a 9-inch pie pan.
Add the sugar and corn syrup to a pot and place on the stovetop. Turn the heat to medium and stir occasionally, until small bubbles appear, then stir continuously as the mixture heats up further, once it starts to boil, keep stirring and let it boil for 2 to 3 minutes. Then take it off the heat and set aside and let it cool down for 3 to 5 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350 F or 176 C. Then add the butter and vanilla extract to the hot sugar corn syrup mixture. Stir until the butter is melted. Once the butter has melted, set the pot aside and let it cool for about 5 minutes.
Add the eggs to a large bowl, then whisk them up, next take the corn syrup mixture and slowly add it while whisking the eggs, add it a little at a time, so the eggs do not cook! Then after about half of the corn syrup mixture has been added, you can add in the rest and mix.
Now add the pecans to the mixture and mix well. The pecan pie filling is complete. Pour the whole amount into the prepared pie crust.
Now bake the pie for 45 mins to an hour. Check it at the 30 to 35-minute mark, to see how the edges and top of the pie are doing, if they are getting too brown, add foil to protect them. You will know the pie is done when it has set and is not jiggly on the top and if you push a toothpick in the pie, it will come out clean. Once out of the oven let the pie sit for about an hour before serving. Enjoy!
