  • 1 cupgranulated sugar
  • 3 tbspBrown Sugar
  • 0.5 tspSalt
  • 1 cuplight corn syrup
  • cupSalted Butter, melted
  • 3whole eggs, beaten
  • 0.75 tspvanilla
  • 1heaping c.  pecans, chopped

Instructions

  1. 1

    First, prepare your pie crust and place it in a 9-inch pie pan.

  2. 2

    Preheat the oven to 350°F.  

  3. 3

    In a bowl, stir together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, salt, corn syrup, butter, eggs, and vanilla.

  4. 4

    Pour the chopped pecans into the bottom of the unbaked pie shell. Pour the syrup mixture over the top of the pecans. 

  5. 5

    Cover the top and crust lightly/gently with foil. Bake the pie for 30 minutes. Remove the foil, then continue baking for 20 minutes, being careful not to burn the crust or pecans. Note: The pie should not be overly jiggly when you remove it from the oven! If it shakes a lot, cover it with foil and bake for an additional 20 minutes or until set. The required baking time seems to vary widely with this recipe. Sometimes it takes 50 minutes; sometimes it takes 75!
