Classic Pecan Pie – made easy!

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

A couple weeks ago I asked people if they could only have one dessert at Thanksgiving what would it be? The overwhelming response was pecan pie.

Well here’s the thing, I didn’t think I like pecan pie. That was until I started researching recipes and it turns out pecan pie is basically sugar and pecans…lol! It’s no wonder everyone loves it! And now that’s including ME!

I’m not really a baker so when I say this is the easiest pie you can bake, I mean it. All you need is 1 bowl, no mixer and it’s recommended to use a frozen pie crust…yep. You read that right, that’s all there is to it! Check out the recipe below and give it a try!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup Karo® Dark Corn Syrup
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons butter – melted
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 +1/2 cups coarsely chopped pecans plus whole pecan to decorate the top
  • 1 frozen deep-dish pie crust – I like Marie Callender’s 

 


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F and place a baking sheet in the oven.
  2. In a large mixing bowl combine the corn syrup, eggs, sugar, butter, and vanilla, stir to mix well. Then stir in the chopped pecans and pour the mixture into the pie crust.
  3. Using the whole pecan halves make a design on the top of the pie. Optional, but I like the extra flare. 
  4. Place on the baking sheet and bake on the center rack of the oven for about 60 minutes. Cool for at least 2 hours on a wire rack before serving.

    Note: The pie is done when the center reaches 200°F. If the pie crust is over-browning, cover edges with foil.
