Ingredients
Pecan Pie Filling
3largeeggs
1cupdark cork syrup
1 ¼cup brown sugar
2teaspoonvanilla
½cupbutter, melted
1 ½ cuppecan halves
Pecan Pie Crust
½cupsalted butter
4ozcream cheese
1 ¼cupall-purpose flour
½ tablespoongranulated sugar
1-2tablespoonwater
Instructions
Directions:
Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Then, in a large mixing bowl, add the dark corn syrup.
Next, you will add the melted butter (or almost melted butter) to the dark corn syrup. Mix on high for 3 minutes until smooth.
Then, you will add the vanilla to the creamy mixture. Next, you will add in the brown sugar. Then mix to combine.
Finally, add in the eggs and mix on medium speed for 2-3 minutes.
Then you will pour this mixture into an a pre-baked pie crust. I like to prebake the pie crust so that the bottom of the crust doesn't get soggy. I simply place parchement paper on the pie crust and add some pie weights or dried beans. Then bake at 325 degrees for 10 minutes.
Once you have poured the pecan pie filling into the pie crust, you will add the pecans to the pecan pie! I went around in a circular direction so that it looks uniform. Then fill in the gaps with the rest of the pecans.
Place the pie pan on a cookie sheet to catch in spillls or boil-overs. Then, bake the pecan pie at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 70-75 minutes. Make sure to rotate the pan half-way through baking for even browning.
Recipe Notes
Also, keep an eye on the pie crust. You can use a pie shield or some aluminum foil to keep the edges from burning. When the pecan pie is finished baking, let it cool completely for 1-2 hours (easier said than done).
