Classic Southern Pecan Pie Recipe

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F.

Step 2

If using frozen pie crust, set it on the counter or prepare your homemade or refrigerated pie crust by placing it in your pie dish and finishing the edges however you like. Set the crust aside while you prepare the filling.

Step 3

Whisk together the brown sugar and granulated sugar in a medium mixing bowl until combined. Add the corn syrup, melted butter, eggs, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt to the bowl and whisk the ingredients together until well combined.

Step 4

Pour the chopped pecans into the bowl with the filling and use a silicone spatula to mix the pecans into the filling until completely combined. Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust.

Step 5

Line the outer edge of the pie with pecans halves for a decorative touch or leave the pie as is. Bake the pecan pie in the preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes, or until the center is slightly puffed and jiggles slightly when rocked back and forth and the edges are set.

Step 6

Allow the pie to cool completely before slicing. Enjoy pecan pie chilled or at room temperature.
