Classic Pecan Pie Traditional Recipe
Quick Facts
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Bake Time: 60 to 70 minutes
Extraordinary Time: 2 hours
Yield: 8 servings
Ingredients
1 cup Karo® Light OR Dark Corn Syrup
3 eggs
1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 teaspoon Spice Islands® Pure Vanilla Extract
1-1/2 cups (6 ounces) pecans
1 (9-inch) unbaked OR frozen** deep-dish pie crust
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Using a spoon, mix corn syrup, eggs, sugar, butter, and vanilla. Stir in pecans. Pour filling into pie crust.
- Bake on the center rack of the oven for 60 to 70 minutes (see tips for doneness below). Cool for 2 hours on a wire rack before serving.
*To use prepared frozen pie crust: Place cookie sheet in the oven and preheat oven as directed. Pour filling into frozen crust and bake on a preheated cookie sheet
RECIPE TIPS: Pie is done when the center reaches 200°F. Tap the center surface of the pie lightly - it should spring back when done. For easy cleanup, spray the pie pan with cooking before placing the pie crust. If the pie crust is over-browning, cover the edges with foil.
NUTRITION TIP: To reduce calories, substitute the new Karo® Lite Syrup for the Karo® Light or Dark Corn Syrup.
High Altitude Adjustments: Reduce sugar to 2/3 cup and increase butter to 3 tablespoons. Reduce oven temperature to 325°F.
VARIATION: coarsely chopped walnuts may be substituted for pecans to make a walnut pie.
