Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 pie crust pre-baked
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup light corn syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 4 eggs beaten
  • 1 stick 1/2 cup of salted butter
  • 2 cups pecans

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees for pie.
  • In a medium bowl whisk together sugar, corn syrup, vanilla, salt and cinnamon. Add eggs and whisk until smooth.
  • In a small saucepan, melt butter and heat for about 4-5 minutes, until butter becomes brown and fragrant. Stir often. Pour butter into the sugar mixture and whisk to combine. Stir in pecans and pour into prepared crust.
  • Bake for 50-60 minute or until center is set. If your crust edges begin to get too brown, you can remove pie and cover crust with foil.
  • Cool pie on rack for 3-4 hours before slicing and serving.
