How about a rich and gooey Southern classic?

Easy Southern Pecan Pie Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust (homemade or store-bought)
• 1 cup light corn syrup
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 3 large eggs
• ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 1½ cups pecan halves

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Whisk together the corn syrup, brown sugar, eggs, melted butter, vanilla, and salt until smooth.
3. Stir in the pecan halves.
4. Pour the mixture into the unbaked pie crust.
5. Bake for 50–60 minutes, until the center is set but still slightly jiggles when gently shaken.
6. Cool completely before slicing to allow the filling to firm up.

Tips for Pie Perfection

• Don’t overbake: The filling will continue to set as it cools.
• Use toasted pecans for extra flavor depth.
• Serve with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for added indulgence.
