Ingredients
Scale
- 1 unbaked pie crust (bottom only)
- 3 eggs, beaten
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups chopped pecans
Instructions
- Roll out pie crust and lay into a greased 9-inch pie pan.
- Combine eggs, corn syrup, melted butter, brown sugar, and vanilla extract in a large bowl and whisk together.
- Stir in chopped pecans.
- Pour mixture into the pie shell.
- Bake at 350°F for 30 minutes. Remove pie from oven and cover crust edges with foil to prevent burning.
- Return pie to oven and bake for another 20-30 minutes until the outer edge is puffed and the center is slightly jiggly.

Notes
Covering the crust edges with foil after 30 minutes prevents burning while allowing the filling to cook fully. Cooling completely is essential for the pie to set properly.
