🛒 Ingredients
Pie Base
- 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust
Filling
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- 1 cup sugar
- 3 large eggs
- ½ cup melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ cups pecan halves
🍳 Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Mix the filling: In a large bowl, whisk together corn syrup, sugar, eggs, melted butter, vanilla, and salt until completely smooth.
- Add pecans: Fold in the pecan halves.
- Fill the crust: Pour mixture into the unbaked pie crust.
- Bake for 50–60 minutes or until the center is set and the top turns golden brown.
- Cool completely: Allow the pie to fully cool so the filling can firm up—this ensures perfect slices.
- Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream if desired.
🥣 Method (Chef Breakdown)
- Melted butter + sugar + corn syrup blend into a rich, caramel-like filling.
- Eggs give structure and help the pie set properly.
- Vanilla + salt balance sweetness and add depth.
- Pecans slightly toast during baking, releasing oils that flavor the entire pie.
- No pre-baking the crust keeps everything simple and beginner-friendly.
🕰 History
Pecan pie is a true American classic with deep Southern roots. Pecans are native to the South, and early settlers quickly learned how to bake them into pies sweetened with molasses or syrup.
By the early 1900s, corn syrup became widely available, transforming the recipe into the silky, glossy pecan pie we know today.
Today it’s a holiday staple — Thanksgiving, Christmas, potlucks, and Sunday dinners.
When a pecan pie comes out of the oven, everyone knows something special is happening.
🧩 Formation (How the Pie Comes Together)
- Corn syrup + sugar create the sticky sweet base
- Eggs thicken and solidify the filling
- Butter adds richness
- Pecans float to the top while baking, forming a natural crunchy crust
- Slow baking evens out the filling and gives that perfect custard-like texture
Each layer forms itself—no extra effort needed.
❤️ For the Lovers
This pie is made for sharing—late-night slices, holiday moments, or quiet evenings with someone special.
There’s something romantic about a recipe that warms the kitchen and fills the house with sweet, buttery aroma.
Slice it warm, add ice cream, sit together, and enjoy the comfort of good food and good company.
Sometimes love tastes like pecan pie. ❤️
🥘 Extra Method Notes (For Perfect Results)
- Bake on the middle rack for even heat.
- If the edges brown too fast, lightly tent with foil.
- Let the pie cool at least 2 hours — trust me, it’s worth it.
- For deeper flavor, lightly toast pecans before mixing.
- Use real butter — it makes all the difference.
