Here is the recipe for the Pecan Pie. I just ate the last slice last night and I'm resisting the urge to make another one already!
Ingredients
1 sheet refrigerated piecrust (half a 15-ounce package) I used a frozen Tenderflake crust
1 cup light corn syrup
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
5 1/3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 large eggs
2 cups toasted pecan halves
Freshly whipped cream, for serving (optional)
Directions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Unroll the piecrust and place in a 9-inch pie plate. Fold the overhang under and crimp the edge with a fork or your fingers. Bake the crust until light golden brown, about 10 minutes. Cool completely on a rack. (Leave the oven on.) I decided against baking the crust before filling it. 40 minutes in a 375 degree oven was plenty to bake everything through.
Whisk the corn syrup, brown sugar, salt, butter and vanilla in a medium bowl. Lightly beat the eggs in a small bowl, then whisk into the corn syrup mixture.
Finely chop 1/2 cup pecans and spread evenly over the piecrust. Roughly chop another
1/2 cup pecans and mix into the corn syrup mixture, then pour the filling into the crust. Arrange the remaining 1 cup pecans on top in a decorative pattern.
Bake the pie until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean, 40 to 50 minutes. I baked for 40 minutes and it was ALMOST overdone. Cool completely on a rack. Serve with whipped cream, if desired.
