Traditional Southern Pecan Pie

Ingredients
  

  • 1-9 inch unbaked pie crust
  • 2-½ cups pecans, coarsely chopped
  • 4 large eggs, at room temperature
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup light or dark corn syrup
  • ¼ cup light or dark brown sugar, packed
  • 2 tbsp. unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp. salt

Instructions
 

  • Remove refrigerated pie crust from refrigerator; remove wrapping and allow to sit at room temperature for 15 minutes.
  • Pre-heat the oven to 350°F.
  • Place a 9" round parchment paper into the bottom of the pie plate (this prevents the pice crust from sticking to the bottom of the pie plate).
  • Add pecans to the unbaked pie shell.
  • In a large bowl, stir together the eggs, granulated sugar, corn syrup, brown sugar, melted and cooled butter, vanilla, cinnamon and salt. 
  • Pour the mixture over the pecans.
  • Cover the top and crust lightly/gently with aluminum foil.
  • Place in the pre-heated oven and bake for 30 minutes; remove the aluminum foil and continue baking for another 20 minutes or until the center has just a slight jiggle but the edges are stable and set. 
  • If the pie crusts are browning too quickly, cover the edges with a pie crust shield or aluminum foil.
  • Remove from the oven to a wire rack and allow to ool for at least 2 hours before slicing.
  • Cover leftovers with aluminum foil and place in the refirgerator.
