There is nothing like a pecan pie with its crunchy nuts, gooey sweet filling, and flaky crust. This is the world's best pecan pie recipe because it comes out perfectly every time!

Ingredients

  • 1 packaged pie crust
  • 3 eggs (beaten)
  • 3/4 cups light corn syrup (+ 2 tablespoons)
  • 3/4 cups light brown sugar
  • 1½ teaspoons vanilla bean paste
  • 3 tablespoons butter (melted)
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 2 cups pecans

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 350.

  2. 2

    Press the pie crust into the pie plate and proof. Bake 8 to 10 minutes, until the crust is just barely golden.

  3. 3

    Meanwhile, in a 2 quart bowl, whisk together the eggs, corn syrup, brown sugar, vanilla bean paste, and melted butter. Stir in the chopped pecans.

  4. 4

    When crust comes out of the oven, pour syrup and pecan mixture into it.

  5. 5

    Bake pie in preheated oven about 1 hour, or until firm. Let cool at least 1 hour before serving (if you don't, it will be very runny when you try to cut it).
